Pucallpa Cluster Base Biography
With a population of 339,433, Pucallpa represents the vast majority
of urban population in this jungle region. Hundreds of small villages
outside of the city limits line the river's coastlines.
The Nazarene Church officially started work in Pucallpa within the
last few years by Dr. Larry Garman. As with most remote jungle areas
in Peru, many villages remain completely unreached by the message
of Jesus Christ.
The missionary in Pucallpa is working to start a micro-economic
development program in Pucallpa to help locals who merely survive
extreme poverty to develop skills and a source of income for their
families. Extreme has agreed to assist the economic development
efforts through its 40/40 missionaries to expand the benefits throughout
the city and region.
Region-specific information pending.
