Preaching The Gospel,
Teaching God's Word,
Feeding The Poor

 
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
John 3:16
 
 

Our Mission

 
Heart of Christ is a ministry dedicated to the preaching of the gospel and the teaching and distribution of God’s word. We operate in a small hillside community in Lima, Peru. The neighborhood where we work is one the poorest and most dangerous in South America. We have been ministering in this community since 2010. We hold Bible study classes during the week where children and adults can come learn from the Bible and hear the gospel preached. In this very poor community food is scarce so we give out food and other groceries each month to those who attend our classes. Many of those we minister to are neglected children and single mothers.
 
 

Bibles for Puno and Lima

One of the most important things that we do as a family and ministry is give Bibles to those who do not have a copy of God’s word. We give out Bibles to the new families when they start coming to the ministry in Lima. We give out Bibles as we evangelize going about our daily lives. We give out Bibles as we continue the work in the remote communities in the Puno region of Peru. A one time donation or a monthly donation will help put the Word of God in the hands of those who do not have one but desperately want one. Each Bible costs us about $5.

Support the continued work in Puno

In May 2026 I (TJ) went to Puno, Peru with a friend to help him prepare for a mission trip later in the year. While there I stumbled upon a small farming community on the Chuquito Penninsula called Luquina Grande. Luquina Grande is very poor economically and very poor spiritually. Just as I knew that God was calling me to Caja De Agua in 2010, it was clear to me that God was calling my family and I to preach the gospel and minister to the people of Luquina Grande and the Chuquito Peninsula. Our plan is to visit this community a few times a year. Each time to preach the gospel, teach God’s word and feed the poor. Will you pray for us as we minister in this lost and forgotten community. Please consider donating to our Puno fund to cover all costs involved with this part of our ministry. 

Thank you for your love and support,

God bless you

 

And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority’s been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

Matthew 28:18-20

How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher? How will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news of good things!”

Romans 10:14-15
