The Peru Lifetree Adventure is all about building: building homes, and building relationships with the Shipibo people who live in the villages along the Ucayali River. You won’t just be working for the people here but working with them—families and villagers who are thankful for the assistance, but equally ready to do the work themselves. This isn’t charity. It’s collaboration that transforms communities, and brings everyone involved closer to God in the process.
“They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations.”
(Isaiah 61:4) |
TRIP OVERVIEW
Despite Peru’s economic success in recent years, major challenges remain. Half of all Peruvians still live in poverty. People in the remote areas of the country have little hope that the government will provide even the most basic of services that we take for granted here in the US. That’s why your Lifetree Adventure here will make such a huge difference. When you build a home in area like this, you are helping to bring stability into an otherwise precarious existence. At the same time, you are communicating Christian love in some very tangible, memorable ways.
It’s not all work, however. You’ll also be able to take in the stunning natural beauty of the region, and there will be plenty of opportunities to play with the children of the villages. Working together. Playing together. These are the secret ingredients for the meaningful cross-cultural experiences you will find in Peru.
“The girlfriends adventure to Peru was an amazing experience! I loved travelling by boat on the jungle river to a remote village and connecting with the women and children there through crafts, games, songs and bible studies. It was great to connect with our interpreters and the local pastors.”
