Southern Peru is characterized by its linguistic and cultural diversity. Several communities speak different languages, such as Quechua, Aymara, and Spanish. A combination of traditions with modern influences coexist.

In this context, the Seventh-day Adventist Church has found a unique opportunity to spread the message of hope and salvation during the week of the Revive 2025 faithfulness program, entitled "Faithfulness that Transforms." By adapting study materials to local languages, the goal is to reach every corner of Peru, transcending linguistic and cultural barriers.

Family-focused Programing

The Stewardship Department promoted Revive Week from March 16 to 22, 2025, in the South Peru Union Mission, the administrative headquarters of the Seventh-day Adventist Church for southern Peru. Each day, members had access to Bible-based study materials in Spanish, Quechua, and Aymara, with a spiritual and family focus.

Special Week

Throughout the week, church members received visits in their homes during the day, participating in moments of prayer and reflection. In the evening, they went to churches, where they enjoyed a spiritual program with biblical messages and testimonies of transformed lives.

Through the Lake Titicaca Mission, the Adventist Church launched a multilingual effort with the production of videos in Quechua and Aymara. This allowed more people from different communities to hear the word of God in their native languages, strengthening their spiritual communion and promoting church unity.
