What the Mission Trip Will Be Like
The Global Church is inviting you to participate in what God is doing in Piura, Peru. Our partner is “Casa de Valientes” which has been supporting the altruistic and selfless work of "Asociación por la Vida" – (ASPOV) that has been caring for HIV-infected patients and their families for almost a decade. ASPOV has developed a comprehensive program of care and support for patients and their families as well as workshops. Some of these workshops have been led by particiants of Casa de Valientes, which is the primary organization responsible for giving practical tools to people with HIV and their families. The goal is for these people to feel useful and be able to generate income in a dignified manner. Within the workshops that CDV has developed includes: sewing, pastry making and carpentry.
Piura is a desert city of 500,000 located in the north of Peru. It is relatively isolated, and receives little support from the central government in Lima. The area is very low income and is often hit by natural disasters and plagues.
The following are the primary ministry opportunities in Piura, Peru:
– Children's Ministry

Merge INVITE trips are designed by local partners to utilize team skills and experience to further their ministries in their communities.
All trips are led, staffed and implemented by Peruvian Nationals and Latin American church leaders. Merge is an organization directed by a leadership team made up of non-American Global Church leaders from around the world. Once your team sends in a deposit, the Merge Coach of Peru, Julio Garcia, will contact your team leaders and work with your team, and the local church leaders, to develop an itinerary, ministry focus, and develop learning activities for your team. Local nationals will be hired as interpreters, guides, ministry coaches, cooks, and construction supervisors (if needed).

Relation of Opportunity to National Church and/or Long-term Goals
Merge is an organization directed and led by Global Church leaders, not North Americans. This gives Merge a Global lens in preparing and implementing short-term trips.
All Merge trips are directed, organized, staffed and led by the national church. All Merge custom trips are mutually designed by the national partner in communication with the short-term trip leader. Teams learn FROM the local church leaders and pastors. The local church/ministries are inviting teams from the United States and Canada to participate in what God is already doing in their communities. Teams PARTICIPATE in ongoing ministries within the community of the local church and organization. The goal is to do ministry WITH local partners, not FOR them.
Merge trips to Peru are created by Peruvian nationals in partnership with the local churches in order to create an opportunity for the team and local congregation/community members to do ministry together, learn from each other, build relationships with each other, and further the ministry of the local churches.
