Two continents bonded
Quillabamba is near...nowhere. It takes some effort to get there from anywhere. It is a safe journey, yet always an adventure to travel there. Would there be a church that would travel this road as a partner? Pastor Leopoldo Quispe, of the La Convencion synod of Peru, needed to build a school there to train lay pastors and church leaders for the rapidly growing church in the remote jungle. First PC, Bryan, responded to the call by sending a team to work on this much needed seminary. Read about this amazing trip! |
