Iglesia Cristiana Menonita del Peru – A young church in Iquitos, with children’s, adolescents’ and youth ministries in Rumococha, Isla Bonita, Monte de Sión and San Juan.
Worship services for all ages began in 2012, though the church had its start much earlier through children’s and youth ministries. Cecy Wong, who is from Iquitos, initiated ministries before meeting her husband David Moreno from Iglesia Cristiana Menonita de Colombia (IMCOL). David and Cecy, along with Juan Carlos Moreno and Cielo Arguello were commissioned as IMCOL missionaries and provide leadership in Iquitos.
Ministries with children and youth led to meeting with their families, who expressed interest in beginning to meet as a church. In addition to the worship services, nearly 300 children are involved in weekly activities in four locations, including music, worship, games and meals together. The church also works with adolescents and youth, offering music, art, English, and discipleship ministries. The youth receive practical training to serve as leaders working with the children. An active camp ministry also gives children and youth opportunities to worship God and enjoy fun activities together.
David and Cecy shared about the history of the church in a video produced in 2016:
