MISSIONARY REPORT AUGUST - SEPTEMBER 2026
"But you will receive power, when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be witnesses to me in Jerusalem,
and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." (Acts 1:8)
Hurtado Family SERVING THE LORD IN PERU
Dear brothers and friends, With much gratitude to God, we present this missionary report for the months of August and
September 2026. During this period, we have continued to move forward with faith in the call that God has given us to bring
the gospel of Jesus Christ to diKerent communities in Peru, to establish churches and to serve people integrally.
Every activity, every visit, every child reached, every family cared for and every eKort made has been made possible by the
grace of God and by the support of brothers and sisters and churches who have decided to walk with us in this mission.
FAMILY NEWS
At the beginning of August, our baby Josiah got sick and had to be hospitalized due to bronchiolitis. As parents, they were
days of great concern to see him at only 3 months old, going through a very diKicult situation.
While Josiah was hospitalized, I also had to be hospitalized due to pneumonia. From one moment to the next, our family had
to face a very diKicult situation, both of us being hospitalized.
These were days of uncertainty and worry, but also days in which we were able to experience God's care in a very special
way. We are deeply grateful to all the brothers, friends, and churches who looked out for us and prayed for our family during
that time. By God's grace, Josiah was able to recover and I was also able to leave the hospital and continue my recovery.
In September we also had a very special reason to celebrate: the 15th birthday of our daughter Camila. After the diKicult
moments we had lived with our health, it was a very special occasion. It was a beautiful time with the family, a time to thank
God for her life and for allowing us to see her reach this new stage, she has been involved in the service of the Lord from a
very young age, in various ways, singing, teaching children, in Christian theaters, choreography, evangelizing, etc. and as
parents, we are grateful for her life and for the opportunity to accompany her as she grows and continues to shape her future.
"Thus far the Lord has helped us." — 1 Samuel 7:12
PISAC CAMPSITES
During the month of August we had the opportunity to hold our camps for children and adolescents from the Quechua
communities of Pisac. For many of them, these days represent much more than a camp: they are a true spiritual, emotional
and physical refreshment. God provided in a miraculous way for the nourishment of each of our children and adolescents.
Once again we were able to experience that, when we put this work in His hands, He opens the doors and provides for every
need.
During camp we saw lives being transformed. Some children and teens made faith choices and accepted Christ as their
Savior, while others made a commitment to follow Jesus and grow in His Word. We also had very special times where,
through biblical teaching and counseling, some children were able to begin to heal deep wounds in their hearts, especially
those related to the pain caused by situations of abuse and hardship within their homes.
Many of these children live a very different reality from other children in the city. During the week, several of them work in
the fields, taking care of animals, helping their families or participating in the potato harvest. Therefore, for them, these days
of camp are like a dream vacation: a time to rest, play, laugh, receive food, make new friends and, above all, listen to the
Word of God every day. We continue to sow today, trusting that God will make each seed that has been planted grow.
TAMBO KIDS - PISAC
We continue to develop Tambo Kids in diKerent communities of Pisac, reaching approximately 200 children with the
Gospel. Each week, our teachers share the Word of God, teach biblical principles, play games and accompany the
children, seeking that they know the love of Christ.
Testimony of a Token of Christ's Love:
In one of the communities, our teachers raised funds from each other to prepare a special meal for the children,
accompanied by candy and cookies. The children received this surprise with great excitement and joy.
Their smiles, hugs, and words of thanks reminded us that small acts of love can have a big impact on a child's heart.
More than just giving them a meal, our teachers had the opportunity to show them the love of Christ with deeds and teach
them that they are important and loved by God. To many people, this seems so simple, but you can't imagine the impact it
has on the lives of these beautiful children.
FAMILY MINISTRY
As a family we have had the privilege of serving the Lord together. For us, ministry is not only a personal responsibility, but
an opportunity to involve our whole family in God's work, each according to their gifts and talents. Nelida and Camila are
actively involved in the church's music ministry, serving the Lord through praise. Nelida also runs Tambo Kids - Pisac,
accompanying the teachers and working directly with the children in the communities. Likewise, Camila and Joseph are
part of the children's ministry team, serving and supporting in the diKerent activities.
During the week we have also continued with discipleship, dedicating time to study God's Word, pray and spiritually
accompany those who are growing in their faith. These moments of discipleship are fundamental because our desire is not
only to reach people with the Gospel, but to help them grow, mature and also become disciples who can serve Christ.
During one of our Tambo Kids activities in an Andean community, we had a very
special moment. As we shared God's Word with the children, one of the girls
listened intently to the Gospel message and realized that she needed to put her
faith in Jesus Christ.
At the end of the teaching, she decided to receive Jesus as her Savior, taking a
step of faith that filled us with joy and gratitude to God.
The image reflects one of those simple but eternal moments: a girl learning to
pray and draw closer to God, while being accompanied by those who are serving
in ministry.
For us, this decision represents much more than a moment within an activity. It
is a life that begins to know Christ and a seed of the Gospel that has been
planted in such a young heart.
A girl, a decision and an eternity transformed by the Gospel.
