What the Mission Trip Will Be Like
Meet Our Partners
The Leaders: Pastor Juan and Keyla Grandez, who lead Iglesia IMCP in the remote jungle town of Saposoa, Peru.
The Ministry: They run Jogo Bonito, a grassroots, faith-based sports ministry designed to reach the next generation.
The Mission: Operating in an isolated region heavily impacted by poverty, Juan and Keyla provide a Christ-centered sanctuary. Through Jogo Bonito, they offer deep biblical mentorship and a safe community to protect vulnerable youth from local drug cartels, guiding them toward a future built on faith and character.
Meet the People of Saposoa
Location and Landscape: Saposoa is a remote, tropical town in northern Peru’s San Martín Region, nestled along the Saposoa River deep within the Amazon rainforest.
Spiritual Environment: While culturally Catholic, many residents blend Christian beliefs with traditional indigenous practices. There is a profound need for evangelical outreach and deep, Bible-based discipleship.
Daily Challenges: Geographic isolation, widespread poverty, and a lack of access to quality education create significant barriers to both the physical and spiritual well-being of the local youth and families.
Our Mission: We partner directly with local believers to plant and strengthen Gospel-centered churches, breaking through isolation to bring long-term hope, encouragement, and the love of Christ to the community.
Service Opportunities
Youth Camps & Outreach: Help run a two-day youth camp focusing on spiritual, emotional, and physical well-being through biblical teaching, seminars, games, and sports.
Community Medical Clinics: Assist with initiatives that meet immediate physical needs, including setting up temporary medical clinics, dispensing reading glasses, and providing health education.
Men's & Women's Conferences: Participate in specialized conferences focused on holistic discipleship, teaching the biblical basis for health, and exploring Gods design for both men and women in the community.
Community Construction Projects: Assist with hands-on building efforts based on current local needs. This may involve infrastructure projects in a nearby village, development for the Jogo Bonito ministry, or miscellaneous building and repair work throughout the community.

Relation of Opportunity to National Church and/or Long-term Goals
In Saposoa, Peru, countless young people are growing up disconnected from the church, with little access to positive role models or safe, life-giving community. Many spend their days on the streets or in unstable environments that leave them vulnerable to destructive choices. Without spaces that draw them in, this next generation risks being lost to the influence of poverty, hopelessness, and unbelief.
In Saposoa, soccer fields and basketball courts draw youth more reliably than church doors. That’s why local leaders envisioned a sports complex—not just as a place to play, but as a place to meet Christ. Through structured games, mentorship, and discipleship woven into daily practices, the Jogo Bonito youth sports ministry becomes more than athletics: it’s a launching point for relationships that point teens to the hope of the gospel.
Key Initiatives
Sports Complex & Outreach — A hub for athletic training, mentoring, and community.
Discipleship through Sports — Leaders integrate Scripture, prayer, and life conversations into the rhythm of practices and games.
Community Connection — Families gather to watch, deepening trust and opening further doors for ministry.
