<p>Mission partner Anna Sims asks for prayer for the people of Peru. Having had three different presidents in the past few months, the nation is now preparing for a presidential election on 12 April, which will likely go to a second round in June, before the inauguration in July. The high rates of corruption and extortion leading to killings continue and with over 30 presidential candidates to choose from, there is a sense of despair and discontent at the lack of a viable option. Voting is compulsory in Peru and many people are talking about spoiling their votes. Pray for God to bring the right person to power, who will lead the country with integrity.</p>

Please pray for him and for his government to be guided by God and for their actions to benefit the country. In Peru, the outgoing president, Dina Boluarte was impeached due to the government’s failure to deal with rising levels of gang violence and a string of scandals. Interim president, José Jerí has imposed a state of emergency in the capital Lima in response to the violence and anti-government protests. Please pray for peace, stability and good government in Peru.</p>

<p>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. </p>



<p>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.</p>



<p>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.</p>

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.</p></div></div><div class="toggle-content"><div>
<p>I supported cross-cultural mission, but it wasn’t ever something I considered doing myself. </p>



<p>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. </p>



<p>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. </p>



<p>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.</p>



<p>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.</p>
