Organization:

Scripture Union is an international movement that began over 140 years ago. It is now present in over 120 countries making God's good news known to children, young people and families and encouraging people of all ages to meet God daily through Bible reading and prayer. Their work in Peru dates back to 1927. Scripture Union serves some of the neediest areas of society in 22 departments across Peru, with a variety of different ministries: schools and camps, abandon boys, medical ministry, deaf programs, and Bible use.

Location:

Kusi:  High up in the beautiful Andes at the foot of the Huascarán, the highest mountain in Peru, is Scripture Union's Girasoles home, Kusi. The town of Yungay is about 2km away and an hour’s drive from Huaráz, the regional capital.

Travel Logistics:

We will be flying from Lubbock International Airport through DFW (where will will join up with our team members from RUF@SMU) and then on to Aeropuerto Internacional Jorge Chávez in Lima, Peru. From there we will take a nine hour bus ride to our final destination, Kusi. That bus ride is sure to be one of the highlights of the trip!
