Meltdown Ministries is committed to making a difference for Christ in Cusco, Peru! Foreigners and tourists from all over the world, converge in this beautiful colonial setting to study Spanish, for adventure treks and to see Machu Picchu. Cusco is seen as a place of spirituality, with many people seeking spiritual enlightenment through their stay here with an eclectic choice of religions.
The focus of Meltdown Ministries is the thousands of English speaking foreigners living in or passing through Cusco, Peru. Through Meltdown Ministries' multi faceted ministry including hosting teams and a church plant, our goal is to be able to offer something for everyone and make a difference for Christ in this part of the world!
Meltdown Ministries is specifically focusing on 2 areas outlined below: Hosting short term teams and individuals and The Meeting Place, MM's church plant in English. Click on each tab to find out more information.
Interested in working with us? Check out our ministry team page for details of ministry opportunities with Meltdown Ministries in Cusco, Peru. Meltdown Ministries is a non-denominational ministry under the covering of Commission to Every Nation.
Welcome to The Meeting Place! In February 2009 we officially started our church plant in English. We meet every Sunday evening at 6:30pm for worship, a message and time to hang out and enjoy coffee, tea & something yummy. Joél Malm is TMP's teaching pastor and joined Meltdown at the beginning of February with his wife Emily.
In August 2008 we took rental of a building previously used as a hostel and are now using it for our church plant among other things. This building affectionately called the "San Blas House" is located right in the Plaza de San Blas a short 5-7 minute walk from the main Plaza de Armas in Cusco. Because of the dynamics of this city, this location is great! Although this ministry is outreach focused, we will be focusing on deep truths and issues, with the Bible as our base and not simply scratching the surface.

***We are actively recruiting people to join our team and can use people THIS YEAR! Check out our ministry team page as we are looking for dynamic individuals to join us in leadership, music, etc.

Short term missions are the best way to be exposed to missions. You can read books or listen to someone talk about some cool experience they've had, but until you do it, you really don't know. Most people working as full time missionaries (like us) started off on a few short term trips. It's also an excellent way to gain world perspective and see that not everyone has the privileges we grew up with.
We host short term teams (click here) coming to and through Cusco and partner them with other ministries as well to help in fulfilling the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19,20). Whether it's an adventure missions trip including white water rafting and hiking to Machu Picchu or helping build a church or working in an orphanage, there are tons of possibilities here in Cusco and surrounding areas. Part of our vision is to see young people and first timers check out missions first hand! We also have a guest house to host teams as large as 12 and can host groups twice that size using other guest houses and hostel contacts within a short walk from here.
As we establish the different focuses of our ministry in the future, these teams will specifically be an asset to us in our ministry through evangelism, our church plant, with music, and building relationships here in Cusco.
