Jeremy Hall (Peru) Jeremy was saved in the fall of 1998 at 19 years old, but it was not until the spring of 2004 that he truly understood his salvation. While on a trip to South Africa, the Lord opened his eyes to a world that was dying and going to hell. From that time on, the Lord started putting in Jeremy’s heart a desire to serve him full time with his life. That same summer he attended the B.C.W.E. where he surrendered his life to missions and began preparation to become a missionary. Six years later (on Feb 28, 2009) he and his wife arrived in Arequipa, Perú where we are currently serving. website
