Monday, March 25, 2013
Global Ministry Center
Since September 1, 2009, the Church of the Nazarene's Global Ministry Center (GMC) proudly flies a flag each week of one of the many nations in which the denomination is present in ministry. Leaders were invited to send a national flag to be flown at the GMC alongside the flag of the United States*. The national flags rotate weekly, and photos of them raised are sent to the church leaders of that country.
This week: Peru
The Church of the Nazarene officially entered Peru in 1914.
Peru had a population of 29,549,517 in 2012. That same year, Peru reported 952 Churches of the Nazarene, 778 of which had been officially organized. Peru has 62,862 total members.
