ALTECO Feedback

One of the indigenous leaders from Peru had this to say:

Thank you so very much for giving us the opportunity to get to know other people who also have a great heart for the Amazon.... I speak my own language and also Spanish, but now I’m motivated to learn English too.

Upon returning from Florida, we attended the first-ever Amazon Consultation here in Peru. It was a great blessing. We formed a committee comprised of two indigenous leaders, a national leader and a Swiss missionary, in order to establish a missions network here in Peru, which can be a complement to ALTECO. ALTECO can focus on the broad Amazon region, and our network on the local level here in Peru.

I was able to teach on the truly Autonomous Indigenous Church, and also share about ALTECO with the over 50 delegates that attended from churches, denominations, mission agencies, missiological study centers, and theological institutions. We genuinely felt like one team in the Lord. There were testimonies and challenges, and all were in favor of establishing the Peru Network. All this makes me think that our Lord wants to come back and take His church to heaven soon. There is much interest in missions everywhere now!
