Situated several hours north of Lima lies the small coastal town of Huacho. Huacho is known for being the witchcraft capital of South America. It’s pretty wild when you really process what that means, but it truly does embody the need that exists in this community. Aside from the physical poverty that is clearly visible, the spiritual poverty that exists in Huacho is something that you can tangibly feel when you’re in the city.

However, in the midst of both the physical and the spiritual poverty, there remains great hope for the city. The calling on their heart was always to pastor a church in Peru, and it wasn’t long before Craig and Daisy Tippie soon realized the influence that surfing and skating had on the youth in this community. It was then that they began to intentionally go after those that no one else was reaching….the surfers and skaters.

When you meet a family like the Tippies with a passion for the least, the last, and the lost, you can’t help but see Christ in them. Their lives become an inspiration for all of us and as a result the world becomes a better place.

We are so blessed to share with you how the Lord is using the Tippie family to impact the city of Huacho in Episode 9, "PERU".
