Andrews University Agenda http://www.andrews.edu/agenda/ News and Events at Andrews University en-us Copyright 2025, Andrews University Tue, 26 Aug 2025 07:29:00 +0000 Tue, 26 Aug 2025 07:29:00 +0000 webmaster@andrews.edu webmaster@andrews.edu Peru Project Airplane Dedication & Vespers http://www.andrews.edu/agenda/68246 Join us on Friday at 5:30 p.m. to celebrate the send-off of the Peru Project airplane and missionaries.             Andrews University Airpark plays a critical role by opening their hangar doors to and hosting a dedication service of a mission aviation aircraft that will be serving with Peru Projects in the Amazon Basin region of Peru. With the only ways of travel in this region being by boat or plane, an aircraft can turn a 20-hr. boat trip into a 1 hr. flight, performing lifesaving medical evacuations and carrying the gospel to areas that would otherwise go unreached. Amongst the thousands of miles of winding river systems in an area of lush rainforest that has no roads and is larger than the states of Michigan, Indian and Ohio combined, there are over 3000 native communities where the gospel needs to be preached. This area is so vast and difficult to move through that the local church doesn't have the man power or funding necessary in order to reach these people groups, and so they stay in the large cities. That's where Peru Projects steps in.             Since 1997, Peru Projects has been working among the difficult access communities in the Peruvian jungle, training and sending Bible workers to live within these remote areas, where they can work with the people, sharing the good news of the gospel and transforming lives. One of our main tools in supporting our Bible workers and reaching people is aviation. The aircraft is our tool in not only reaching people more quickly, but also opens doors that would never be opened otherwise, such as serving them through medical evacuations which shows our care for them physically and occasionally flying cargo which demonstrates our attention to their needs. The flying of patients and cargo into and out of communities provides the avenue to people's hearts, which allows them to be receptive to us flying Bible workers and spiritual materials into places that would never have them otherwise. But we have found that the need for aviation is larger than we can currently meet.             Up to this point, Peru Projects has been working with two aircraft, a Cessna 182G and a Lake Renegade 250, but we are excited to announce that with the help of AngelOne, an Adventist mission support organization, we have been able to obtain another aircraft, a Cessna 182E, N9203X. When looking for a place to prepare this newest aircraft to our fleet, the Andrews University Airpark graciously opened their hangar doors for us to both store and modify the aircraft throughout this summer. Without the hangar space provided by Andrews University, it would have been much more difficult and expensive to have prepared our aircraft for the jungle environment in which it is about to serve. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank the university for the many blessings which they have provided and pray that the work of the gospel is able to move forward more efficiently for many years to come, thanks to the service that this aircraft is going to give.               To stay connected, follow us on...             www.facebook.com/peruprojects             www.instagram.com/peru_projects               The Peru Projects story...             https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fndU9x5brKk Mon, 25 Aug 2025 06:57:09 +0000 The Berrien Engineering, AI & Robotics Lab http://www.andrews.edu/agenda/67226 The Berrien Engineering, AI and Robotics (BEAR) Summer Lab is a six‑week STEM immersion designed to spark your child’s passion for engineering and coding.
