Cheon Il Guk Peru Missionaries: Bienvenidos a Peru!

We’ve arrived safely from Korea and away from the Coronavirus! (Check out the Dominican Republic post for a brief explanation as to why we were in South Korea).

On the first full day, we created a vision board that explains who we are as Cheon Il Guk missionaries, and helped prepare for an upcoming event we will be having in April. We have also been allowed to focus on our responsibilities as a team and observe the CARP members here. Their keen sense of serving others and relaying messages and communicating with their leaders here is so fluid. We are so grateful for the leadership here, and humbled by how joyful and full of spirit the CARP members are. Their schedule is

very busy and yet they are always giving and smiling. We have just started to match their schedule and are growing into it and from it.

The following is a short testimony from David Lee, country leader for our Peru team:

“The CARP Routine here in Peru is honestly really amazing, especially seeing what the members go through. It really feels like you’re living a life as a missionary and living the course that they had gone through as well. It’s difficult, that’s for sure, but it’s a challenge that can really help people become great leaders for peace. — David Lee, 20.

This Sunday after Sunday Service, five CARP members graduated from their two-year full-time member course. It was a joyous time filled with commitments and promises for the near future. We are excited to see what the 2nd week will bring! By then, we are hoping to have gotten more used to the routine, be able to take more initiative in our ideas, and come to work together as a team to invest in our outreach activities more!
