Theology students from Peru Union University have been involved in this project since Aug. 10, and will continue with follow-up efforts until Oct. 4.
Sergio Bernales Hospital in Lima provided free medical and dental care as part of the Caravan of Power program. A group of pastors, physicians and nurses traveled to various locations in the region to offer assistance in the areas of spirituality, health and Christian lifestyle. Puno, and the region of Lake Titicaca, have a special place in the Adventist mission. It was in this part of Peru where Ana and Fernando Stahl established schools in the first two decades of the 20th century. This comprehensive educational program became a blueprint for national education in the country. The Caravan of Power is the latest in the outreach events of the church in this area.
