Pray for: Mazamari Center in Peru

Praise God for the work happening at the Mazamari Center in Eastern Peru, a hub for strengthening the Ashaninka church. Mike Anderson joined a team from Pucallpa to give the center a “facelift.” What an improvement! (You can find photos on 

Over the years, this building has hosted the Ashaninka Bible Institute, pastors’ conferences, and health and carpentry courses. Today, the center supports ACCONASEP (Christian Association for Native Communities of the Peruvian Jungle) in partnership with SAM. Its purpose is to develop Ashaninka church leadership, promote community health, and serve as a hostel during travel. Please pray for continued growth, the Indigenous church leaders, and SAM continued involvement and support of this ministry.

Mazamari is located in a remote area of Peru, it can be a challenge to get there.  While the roads are major highways, about half are dirt/gravel through the mountains.  It is a beautiful trip, but is only safely possible in the peak of dry season because of landslides.
