New World Missionary Association

(NEWMA)

The New World Missionary Association is a Peruvian interdenominational mission committed to bringing the gospel of Jesus Christ to parts of the world that have not yet heard the good news.

NEWMA was founded in 1977 as a church-planting mission reaching out to the Andean, tribal, and coastal communities of Peru.

Today, NEWMA trains and sends Latin Americans to serve in mission work around the world and currently has more than 20,000 full-time missionaries in 50 countries.

NEWMA is also a founding member of the World Link Missionary Association.

Training

Our Latin American Missionary School (EMLA) offers a bachelor’s degree in Missiology accredited by World Link University, an international network of missionary training institutions.

The academic program consists of 42 specialized courses in missionary communication, anthropology, theology, the Bible, and ministry; the curriculum is based on a 50% theory and 50% practice model. All graduates complete 10 months of fieldwork in various regions of Peru. It is a four-year program.

EMLA also offers missiological and cross-cultural experiences to church leaders and pastors. To date, more than 7,000 students have graduated from our Latin American School.

Church Planting

NEWMA is committed to seeing a church established in every town in Peru and around the world.

With thousands of communities that still lack even a single church presence, our mission focuses on a comprehensive ministry of evangelism, church planting, discipleship, and community development.

Through our Latin American School of Missiology, we are able to train and send out dozens of teams each year to reach the unreached with the message of Jesus Christ.

Short-Term Missions

NEWMA offers a variety of short-term mission opportunities for churches seeking hands-on experience in cross-cultural missions. Teams collaborate with Peruvian missionaries already established in the field, working alongside church-planting teams where they can participate in construction projects, children’s evangelism, youth ministry, medical care, health campaigns, and other community development projects.

Our office coordinates domestic travel arrangements, lodging, meals, and the ministry schedule. Each team has the opportunity to worship in the community where they are serving.

Short-term mission teams also take a tour of Colonial Lima, including the Government Palace, museums, and local markets.

Financial Statement

NEWMA is a nonprofit organization whose missionaries work without salaries or a fixed income. As a faith-based mission agency, each missionary is responsible for securing their own support from churches, individuals, and their own “tent-making” efforts.
