Partnership Overview

Jose Isabel Ayay, a Bright Hope partner working with the Quechua people in the Cajamarca region, submitted a project idea to start a carpentry shop. He had some land with some trees that he will use for the timber shop and he will rent a small premises to carry out the work. The shop will support Jose's missionary work and in fact enable him to do more in relation to frequency of visits to the villages he goes to and at the same time provide food for him and his family.

History of Partnership

Jose Isabel commenced as a Bright Hope partner in 2002.  During that time he has come up with the project idea of a carpentry shop.  This has enabled Jose Isabel to become self-funding and Bright Hope has been able to pass on Jose Isabel's previous support to a new partner.

Beneficiaries

Jose Isabel Ayay and his extended family.  Other missionaries in Peru.  The local church. 

What We Like About The Partnership

This particular project will provide financial support for three married couples directly and a local church indirectly. It will enable Jose Isabel to be self funding and to help him achieve his goals of travelling, more often, to the outlying towns and villages to evangelise.
