Giorgio Romani, Calvary Baptist Church

Giorgio and Janna Romani along with their children, Vienna, Vincenzo, and Luca, are missionaries serving in the city of Lima, Peru for the past 11 years. Giorgio and Janna met at Bible college in 2006. Shortly after their wedding he began pastoring a church in Florida. In 2012, the Lord guided them to leave the USA and serve in a Spanish-speaking country. Their three kids were born on the field, and have been a blessing to their lives and ministries. Giorgio has served in Peru pastoring at Iglesia Bautista de Fe until early 2023, leading the ministry of MADEL and teaching at the local seminary. Their current ministry continues with an emphasis on theological education through conferences and modules in different parts of Peru and other South American countries with MADEL, and also by teaching in the Seminario Teológico Bautista de Lima.

Our team will be assisting one of the national pastors that MADEL works with, Pastor Percy Huaman of Calvary Baptist Church in Wanchaq, Cusco. Pastor Percy shared the following with us: “In the surrounding areas of our church there are many places with great economic need, and for this reason the people often do not have access to healthcare. Much of our church is anemic. A medical team would be such a help to these families and also an opportunity to share the gospel of salvation. We are already praying for this team. God bless you.”

Peru is a destination that evokes strong and dramatic imagery – the Incas, the Amazon, the Andes, the mighty condor, and Lima, “the City of the Kings” and former colonial capital of the Spanish New World. Indeed, there are few countries that provide such a brilliant blend of history, culture, landscape, and wildlife under one flag. Peru is entirely (but barely) in the Southern Hemisphere, with its northernmost point just 2 miles south of the equator. Peru has three distinct ecosystems: the arid Costa on the west, the rugged Sierra (or Andes) in the center, and the wet and forested Amazonia on the east.

Peruvian territory was home to several cultures during the ancient and medieval periods and has one of the longest histories of civilization of any country. Its most well-known is the Inca Empire, which built Machu Picchu, and was the largest known state in the pre-Columbian Americas. The Inca Empire had between 6-14 million people at its zenith, which ended when the Spanish arrived and conquered in 1532.

Roman Catholicism, as the official state religion, has played a major role in Peruvian culture and society since the Spanish conquest, with every village, town, and city having its official church or cathedral, patron saint, and special religious days. Indigenous people have mixed many pagan beliefs into the Roman Catholic rituals to produce a syncretistic religion full of unique traditions.

Peru is home to the potato and has over 3,000 varieties of tuber! Peruvians like to say “Soy mas Peruano que la papa,” which means “I am more Peruvian than the potato.” Corn and beans are also native to Peru, and quinoa, cocoa, and coffee are grown here. Ceviche, fish cooked with fresh lime juice and flavored with chili, is considered the national dish of Peru.

Our plan is to offer medical, optical, and physical therapy to this community. Every patient who receives care will hear the gospel from a member of this local church.
