GMC Flags of the Nations: Peru

Global Ministry Center

Monday, March 8, 2010

Since September 1, 2009, the Church of the Nazarene's Global Ministry Center (GMC) proudly flies a flag each week of one of the many nations in which the denomination is present in ministry. Leaders were invited to send a national flag to be flown at the GMC alongside the flag of the United States*. The national flags rotate weekly, and photos of them raised are sent to the church leaders of that country.

This week: Peru

The Church of the Nazarene officially entered Peru in 1914.

Peru had a population of 29,180,899 in 2008. That same year, Peru reported 920 Churches of the Nazarene, 737 of which had been officially organized. Peru has 55,959 total members.

Peru has nine phase three districts and seven phase one districts. It is a part of the South America Region. For more information, visit samnaz.org.

* = The weekly highlighted flag is raised on the middle of three poles in compliance with U.S. government protocols. It flies to the left of the GMC host-nation United States flag, which flies above the host-state flag of Kansas. The Christian flag flies on the third pole.

The Global Ministry Center is the mission and service hub of the Church of the Nazarene.
