Exploring faith in action behind the scenes of missions in Peru
This issue of The Link profiles the work of Wycliffe Bible Translators in the Peruvian jungle, showing how faith, language learning, and medical care come together to reach isolated indigenous communities. From the challenges of jungle travel to the daily life at the Yarinacocha base, readers glimpse the daring logistics, field classrooms, and medical outreach that support translators in remote tribes.
In vivid detail, the magazine follows teams that fly in planes, sail by raft, and trek through mountains to bring language services and the Bible to people who previously had little contact with the outside world. It also highlights the behind‑the‑scenes efforts to train local instructors, provide health care, and build a lifeline for dozens of jungle stations—all sustained by the support of global benefactors and furloughs that keep the mission moving.
