Praying Pelican Missions exists to build up, encourage, and assist the local Church, and that includes doing so in a church’s greatest time of need. When disasters strike, the Church is on the front lines of response and relief efforts, working with local authorities and organizing grassroots efforts to meet the pressing needs of their communities. Praying Pelican Missions is committed to coming alongside these efforts, providing the necessary resources, support, and help to advance the work of our local partners.
Praying Pelican Missions has supported church partners through numerous natural disasters including hurricanes, flooding, and earthquakes. Through the generous donations of our network, we meet the physical needs identified by our partners on the ground. Throughout the recovery process, PPM also provides support through our volunteers that provide countless hours of debris cleanup, rebuilding, roof replacement, food distribution, prayer ministry, and more.

We began our missionary work with a 3-hour trip up the Napo River in order to reach San Alejandro village despite the inclement weather.
Welcome to San Alejandro!

San Alejandro is a community of 150 people approximately made up of 30 families. All the resident do fishing and agriculture for a living. For many years there were Christian groups that for various reasons could not remain consolidated as a church. For this reason we have decided to visit this community.

At the right moment!

Many households in the Peruvian jungle only eat twice a day. And in the worst cases, only once, but today the Lord wanted to bless them with one more plate of food. Glory to God!
