Yanaoca

Evangelism in Peru : Yanaoca and region
Community in Percaro - close to Yanaoca

The town of Yanaoca and the numerous Quechua villages of this region are insignificant and are paid little attention. The people here live in great poverty, for the most part on what the barren soil produces. Their main source of income lies in their sheep, lamas, and alpacas. To this place, too, the gospel is taken in word and deed. Often, MASA has assisted the families in a practical way by providing vaccines for their animals, and seeds. After the flood disasters and the earthquakes, the Quechua people received quick assistance from MASA. This has given credibility to mission work. Many people open their hearts to the gospel, quite a few of them are converted and baptized – what immense joy this is!

The new congregation in Yanaoca is to receive a small church building, which is also intended to become a mission centre for the region south of Cusco, offering the opportunity to train co-workers. Mission stations have already been set up in four villages. Our Missionary, Modesto Puñal, is thankful for all the help he has received.
