New Directors, Same Heartbeat: Hope for Peru
Some stories are so divinely orchestrated, you can only call them a masterpiece.
That’s how Pablo and Rocío describe God’s call on their lives—a story written by two hands, in two countries, that would one day become one shared mission in Peru.
Pablo, originally from Colombia, felt the call to missions as a child. After working as a civil engineer, he found himself serving along the banks of the Amazon’s Putumayo River—on the border of Colombia and Peru—where God ignited a deep love for the Peruvian people.
Meanwhile, Rocío met Jesus at 21 in the bustling heart of Lima. God stirred in her a passion for the forgotten and marginalized. She began sharing Christ with friends and coworkers, not knowing that one day she would meet a Colombian missionary who shared her fire for transformation.
Their paths crossed. Their calling united. And now, after nearly a decade of
experience planting churches, training leaders, and serving together in Costa Rica, they’ve returned to Rocío’s homeland to lead Christ For the City International’s work in Peru.
“Our vision is clear,” they say. “To see communities transformed through living churches that reflect God’s love in concrete actions.”
From launching social projects in high-need neighborhoods to training pastors and mentoring university students, Pablo and Rocío are pouring themselves into raising up a generation of compassionate, Christ-centered leaders.
One of those stories is Pastor Noé Huamán. His rural church lacked electricity—until Pablo and Rocío helped install solar panels. That simple act became the spark for much more: snacks for kids, a youth discipleship program, and a revived congregation full of life and mission.
“I never imagined my small church could have such an impact,” Pastor Noé said with tears. “Today I understand that God has called us to something much greater.”
But the work isn’t easy.
“We need a local team. We need young leaders. We need a network of people walking with us—mentors, friends, prayer warriors,” Pablo says. “This is not a mission we can do alone.”
As new national directors, they’re dreaming big—but depending daily on the strength of their global family.
