An outline of a campaign

During the time us student missionaries are down here in Peru, A.M.O.R. Projects has divided up the time into about 5-6 major campaigns. A major campaign lasts for six weeks, the first week being the medical clinic and the last five weeks being a public health program called Familias Saludables aka Healthy Families. Throughout the entire six weeks is the evangelistic meetings, with a children’s program each night before the main program. Communities of around 1000-3000 residents are usually good places for the campaigns.

The medical clinics consist of seeing patients for 5-6 days with medical and dental needs, performing basic/simple surgeries when needed. The Familias Saludables program is run by our two lovely nurses, Kristin and Emily. They live in the community for five weeks working with about 20-30 families to educate them about ways to improve basic hygiene/sanitation, nutrition, home environment, and help with family planning (financial, goals, etc.). In the evenings the girls run the children’s program which consist of lots of singing, a Bible story, and a craft or coloring (which the kids LOVE). Peruvian Bible workers run the evangelistic meetings in the evenings, but have Bible studies with contacts and make home visitations during the day.
