Tours to Peru

Passing a vision of world service to a new generation in contexts which foster religious toleration, human rights, and individual empowerment.

One of the best ways to understand world service, attain a tolerant view of others, and expand ones experience is through travel overseas. The Stahl Center, in collaboration with La Sierra University, provides yearly study tours to Peru. Students and community members alike are given the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of Ana and Fernando Stahl, as well as come face to face and heart to heart with the people of Peru.
