Glendy Franco de Gomez is a leader of La Selva Seventh-day Adventist Church, where the congregation is made up of indigenous people from the Shipibo tribe. The Shipibos are matriarchal, so women help guide society in many ways. Women are also integral to a church’s stability and future growth. Franco de Gomez dreams of growing her congregation but is held back by the rickety church structure they meet in. Heavy jungle rain has damaged the wooden walls and trusses, and floods the floor. It’s deafeningly loud on the metal roof that is unbearably hot in the sun—it blew away in a storm recently. But all of this is changing for La Selva. Maranatha is building a strong new church structure for La Selva that will last for generations, and allow them the stability to grow the Kingdom in Pucallpa.
