SAM Academy–Week of Prayer
Pray for our students’ families who bring Christ to the lost in Peru and serve the Peruvian people. This year, we serve families connected to South America Mission, Pioneers, IMB, Ethnos 360, Mision Suiza, plus independent and national missionaries. These ministries have diverse roles but share the common goal of sharing God’s Word in remote areas of Peru and discipling His people to carry it forward.

Refugio de Esperanza
Amanda McKinney serves at Refugio de Esperanza, a Christian school that welcomes students with disabilities in Pucallpa, Peru. Most students are local, but there are some students who board at the school. Amanda mentors and guides the girl boarders with Liri (the dorm mom) and Karen. There are eleven young women. Please pray for wisdom as they care for these girls with love and grace. Pray also for renovations in the girls’ dorm to make it more wheelchair accessible so Liri can live there.
