Why go to Peru?

When asked, “Why are you going to Peru?” I would inadequately reply, “To do missionary work?” For Catholics this isn’t a very good answer because 90% of Peruvians are Catholic.

I searched scripture for better words and was getting close with Third Isaiah, chapters 58 and 61. I finally zeroed in on one of the lines from the Peace Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi.

I go to Peru to bring hope where there is despair.
