University campuses continue to be shut down in Trujillo, but SUSA is still hard at work ministering to college students. Our small groups continue meeting in homes, as well as larger group meetings in our churches. Pastor Alexis Alayo and his team are focused on evangelizing and discipling students for the unique challenges of living out their callings in an increasingly secular world. Understanding one's identity in Christ is fundamental to building strong, resilient Christian character. But identity in Christ cannot be fully known without grasping our vocation in Christ. Please join us in praying for Ps. Alexis and his team, and for the growing group of students preparing for serving God and the world around them through their specific vocations.

New Steps Orphanage

“Father of the fatherless and protector of widows is God in his holy habitation (Psalm 68.5).

Please join us in praying for the New Steps Orphanage in Trujillo. One of our churches called a work day on Good Friday and went to help with cleanup and maintenance at the orphanage and then enjoyed a soccer game with the kids. Pray for these children to know God as their own Father through Jesus Christ, and for them to be comforted and strengthened in Him!

Meet Diana Barreto! Diana was born and raised in Trujillo. She studied nursing at the National University of Trujillo and has been head nurse at Bethesda for five and a half years. Some talk of Teresa of Calcuta but we brag about Diana of Trujillo! She is frequently found making house-calls around the city and is dearly loved by all her patients. Diana became a Christian in 2010 and is a member at Elohim Baptist Church where she teaches children’s Sunday School, and is a leader in the young adults’ and women’s ministries. She is also in her first year of theological studies in the Peruvian Baptist Seminary. Please pray for Diana and her team of nurses at Bethesda, as well as her extensive ministry and service around Trujillo!
