More about my work

In obedience to the great commission (Matthew 28:18–20), I am called to make disciples in this time and context.

As pastor of the local church, I shepherd, disciple, accompany, advise and preach the gospel to as many people as possible. I train and help to grow future leaders of the church in the region.

As a clergyman of the Anglican Church of Peru, I am supporting the bishop in the evangelisation and shepherding of the local church. As rector of the Cristo Redentor Arequipa church, I serve in discipleship, accompaniment, counselling and preaching of the gospel.

Within the diocese, I am a member of the formation department, which allows me to support the training of new and future leaders for the church. I was elected diocesan treasurer, and gladly serve in this area, as part of the diocesan board of directors.

My story

I am married to Marivel Nina Duran, both natives of Puno, with two children: Víctor Emmanuel, a medical student and María Isabella, a secondary school student.

I studied at the Anglican Seminary “Santos Agustinos”, which I passed satisfactorily, to later be ordained Deacon (January, 2013) and priest (November 2013). In the year 2017 we were sent (the whole family) to Chile, to study at the CEP of the Anglican province of Chile, for a period of three years, successfully completing the studies. We returned to Peru in 2020, to serve in Arequipa, where we currently live.

Aware of the need for the preaching of the gospel, in all places and times, we join CMS to serve this purpose and for whatever God wants to use us. As a family, we want to be an instrument of God in his mission, to disciple, and in the preaching of the gospel.

More about my work

There are many people in Lima who do not feel comfortable in a traditional church setting – and I partner with iCafe (standing for imagination, culture, art and faith), a church and cultural initiative with a heart to reach them, particularly artists.

We long to see the city of Lima reimagined and transformed by disciples of Jesus shaping the city creatively, bringing hope and light through church family, exhibitions, concerts, plays, workshops and artists’ fairs.

I also support a pioneer community project Inti Ayllu (Community of Light) in the Pamplona neighbourhood, where young people at risk from joining gangs are trained in a restaurant, providing an alternative to gang life and a safe space that is used for wider community art projects and activities.

Partnering with iCafe and Inti Ayllu draws on my passion for arts and education to help to reach people on the edges with the hope that Jesus brings. I work alongside a committed team aiming to use all forms of art to create safe spaces and reflect God’s light and love in the community.

My story

Although I was brought up in a Christian family, I turned away from God as a teenager. I know firsthand that he is a God of many chances and have seen in my own life how he used others to draw me back to him, making a re-commitment when I was 21.

I supported cross-cultural mission, but it wasn’t ever something I considered doing myself.

With a background of arts education in museums and galleries, I first fell in love with Latin America while working on a number of different arts projects.

When I returned from a short-term arts projects in Ecuador I felt God prompting me and decided to explore the possibility of returning to Latin America longer-term.

I came to Lima with Church Mission Society in September 2013 and have had a variety of roles, working with the Anglican diocese and also an interdenominational English-speaking prison ministry.

In John 10:10 Jesus says he has “come to give life and life in abundance” – I know this to be true. God is a relational and creative God and is using my previous experiences and my love of people to come alongside others and be part of their faith journey.
