Diaconal Ministry Theological Education
Seminario Bíblico Reformado
(the official seminary of the IEPP)

The seminary operates on a modular approach , meeting 3 weeks a quarter, so students can earn a living while in school.
Professors : Dr. Alonzo Ramirez, Bill Bradford, Wes Baker, & Allen Smith.

Goal for the Publishing House: provide Spanish literature for Latin America:
Classic Christian works translated by our team
Original works by our seminary professors & pastors
Sunday school material
Christian education curriculum

The Wichanzao Parish Clinic (Trujillo) is stocked with medical/dental equipment & medicines.
The Wichanzao Clinic is staffed daily by a Peruvian nurse and regular Peruvian doctors who are often accompanied by the church pastor.

Wichanzao Clinic Cajamarca Regional Hospital

Economic Development
We constantly witness the need to actively pursue long-range solutions to economic problems.
Current endeavors include:
Woodshop (Domestic & International Sales)
Microfinance Program
Cooperatives (Agricultural & Technical)

Woodshop
Large-scale economic development is critical to the long-term growth of communities and churches in this desperately underdeveloped part of the world.
Involves the establishment of a training and production facility in Trujillo that will employ local carpenters to produce furniture and doors from Peruvian exotic hardwoods for export to the United States.
Profits from the sale of these products will be returned to the communities in Peru by establishing other businesses and building churches, schools, and health clinics.

Microfinance Program
Microfinance is any act of providing people with access to borrowing and saving for the purpose of enabling them to participate in any form of economic activity.
A solidarity group, the basic unit of Sinergia’s lending model, is a group of five women, all of whom are responsible for the timely pay-back of the loan.
We currently have 3 solidarity groups functioning successfully

Cooperatives
Agricultural Cooperative in Hualqui
Welding Cooperative in Chililique
Agricultural Cooperative in Quinuapata
Agricultural Cooperative in Manzanamayo

Christian Schools
We teach 20 or more religion classes a week in public schools.
Wichanzao Church currently hosts a Pre-Kindergarten program
Some of our churches have elementary schools - but they must rely on humanistic textbooks.
Goal : to open church schools utilizing classical Christian curriculum.

After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the Lamb clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; and cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. Revelation. 7:9
