RMS has been working in the Cusco region of Peru since 2010 when Dr. Neal Hegeman (MINTS Theological Seminary) presented a proposal to build a home to be used as a MINTS regional Study Center. Since then, RMS has been able to assist in the construction of many churches in several villages in the Andes mountains that surround Cusco. This year is a local church building across town from where it all began.
Cost
The trip cost is $900.00 USD, (plus airfare to and from Cusco - CUZ [RMS will arrange air travel if desired]). This cost includes food, lodging, ground transportation and day away tickets. Please note: This amount does not include your flights to and from Cusco, Peru, nor does it cover any incidentals or souvenirs you may want to purchase while there.
Work Projects
We will be working with the local contractors on the construction of the church building.
Accommodations
We will be staying in the home of our hosts, the Valcarcel Riveras. Men will be on one floor while the ladies will be on the floor above. Each floor has hot showers and comfortable beds. Delicious, authentic Peruvian food is served by the family and church members along with a mixture of North American dishes, with a Peruvian flair.
