  • Summary

  • Maranatha's country director in Peru shares how he started in the mission field as a 20-year old missionary to Mozambique. Elmer recalls how he constructed hundreds of Maranatha's One-Day Churches in both Mozambique and Brazil, and how the COVID pandemic affected the work in Peru, including dramatic escapes by two Maranatha volunteer groups before the country shut down in March 2020. He also talks about the exciting work Maranatha is beginning in the Amazon jungle of Peru, where, without roads, materials must be shipped on a river barge on a seven-day journey to reach congregations waiting for help. Unfortunately we were short on time for this episode, and look forward to the next opportunity to hear much more of Elmer's story!
