Pastor Juan Tacsa has served as a church planter/pastor with Anchored in Truth Ministries for over 15 years. He serves in the mountains of Perú working with the Jaqaru people in the villages of Aiza, Tupe, and Colca. His ministry includes evangelism, teaching, preaching, and personal discipleship. He currently pastors the believers in these three villages while at the same time training up leaders from among them to continue the work in the future. Pastor Juan also serves the churches at the base of the mountains by providing teaching and discipleship. One of the special aspects of Pastor Juan's ministry is his ministry to the children in the villages where he serves. Pastor Juan devotes a lot of his time to teaching the young children God's word through Bible lessons and songs, planting the seeds of the Gospel in their hearts. Pastor Juan is married to his wife, Vivian, and they have a daughter named Damaris.

Update (May 2021):

Pastor Juan just recently visited the villages of Aiza, Tupe, and Colca again. On this visit, he had the privilege of baptizing two women, Etelvina and Basílica. The photo below is of Etelvina's baptism.

There are also two men who are wanting to be baptized, Richard and Juan. Please pray for these two men and for Pastor Juan as he counsels and disciples them. While he was there, Pastor Juan also met with the other believers in these villages and taught them the Word of God. The photo below is of Pastor Juan with the church in Aiza.

As always, Pastor Juan sends many thanks to all the partners of AIT for their generous support of the Lord's work in the mountains of Peru.
