About Us
Hi! We are Joshua and Rocio Ivey. We are fundraising to be missionaries to Peru and are going through Partners Inc (tnpartners.org), which is a missions program of the Transformation Network (http://www.transformationnetworkinc.com/). Joshua is an MK from Peru, who came to the U.S. to study in college. He has a B.S. in Cross Cultural Studies, a TESOL certificate, and a minor in Teacher Education through Toccoa Falls College. Rocio has a Peruvain B.S. degree in nursing from Universidad Peruana Los Andes. God willing we want to use our gifts to serve Christ and the Peruvian people. If interested, Joshua also wrote a book entitled, "Hope in the Workforce". (http://www.christianfaithpublishing.com/books/?book=hope-in-the-workforce). It is available in print and ebooks on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Itunes.
