Puerto Supe, Peru
Cesar and Grace Cubas are missionaries in Puerto Supe, Peru, serving with South American Mission (SAM). Cesar is of Peruvian descent and came to know Jesus as a young man through the outreach of a missionary to Peru. He later met Grace when she was serving as a missionary. They have been serving together with SAM since 1980.
The Cubases minister at Comunidad Cristiana de Puerto Supe, where they work to shepherd the congregation to engage their small but vibrant community with the gospel of Christ. In particular they work with low-income people to bring them to Christ and disciple them to reflect Jesus in their lives, to serve others, and to see the community—including local and regional leaders—characterized by justice and accountability. They also aim to help the church and community toward self-sustaining, profitable, family-run businesses.
Where They Serve
Puerto Supe is a small harbor town on the coast of Peru, roughly 120 miles north of Lima (the capital city). It is home to roughly 28,000 people and has one of the oldest archaeological sites in the Americas, El Áspero.
