Peru is rich with culture and history. From pre-Colombian civilizations, through the conquistadors and colonial times, to present-day culture, the ancient has mixed with the modern in peculiar and interesting ways. As you drive along the streets, it is not uncommon to see sheep being herded beneath a billboard advertising the latest in internet technology. While some people are doing international business on their cell phones, others are working in their fields with oxen yoked to a wooden plow.

The Peruvian culture is as varied as its people. From mountain and jungle tribes, to the urban poor, to cosmopolitan city dwellers, the nearly 30 million Peruvians are proud of their heritage. They are neither European nor indigenous – they are Peruvian. They share a common ancestry with other Latin American countries, but they are distinct from them.

The church in Peru is growing and has tremendous potential to impact its society and world missions. TEAM is laying the foundation for this through church planting in the middle class and outreach to the poorer class.

Around 81% of the people are Catholic, 12.5% are Evangelical, 3.3% practice other religions, and 2.9% are non-religious.
