The route of the evangelism caravan "The Last Battle" took place from September 23–30, 2023, in southern Peru, specifically in the cities of Tacna, Arequipa, Moquegua, Ica, Cusco, Marankiari, Iquitos, and Pucallpa; the caravan continued from October 1–7 in Lima.
In this campaign, promoted by the South Peru Union (UPS) of Seventh-day Adventists through its Evangelism Department, the objective was to mobilize the church in all its areas and make them participants in a united work for their fellow community members so that more people receive the message of hope.
The evangelists from the South American Division (SAD) in charge of carrying the Word of God for this great campaign were pastors Rafael Rossi, Stanley Arco, Bruno Raso, and Jorge Rampogna. Also joining this team of preachers were pastors Joel Flores (evangelist for the Novo Tempo Network) and Charlles Britis (president of the UPS), among other church leaders.
The musical accompaniment and praises were present thanks to the interpretations of the quartet Arautos do Rei (from Brazil), singers Bertha Amado and Karen Cruzado (both from Peru), and worshipers from each city.
Large Attendance
After visualizing the large number of people attending this campaign, it is estimated that just in the city of Tacna, around 6,000 people gathered at the Coliseo Cerrado Peru; in the Lima district of Lurin, an average of 5,000; in Pucallpa (Ucayali region), approximately 2,500 people; and there were thousands more along the route of this caravan.
New Disciples
After this evangelism campaign, a total of 3,581 people were called by the Holy Spirit to be new disciples and decided to surrender their lives to God through baptism. The nights of praise and messages transformed thousands of lives.
The Seventh-day Adventist Church prays for each new disciple, the evangelists, and each church member who collaborated to make this great campaign possible—working together and connected to fulfill the mission.
