Serving and Empowering the People of Peru

As Diocesan Bishop of the Peru District Council, Bishop Slaughter has embraced Peru not simply as an assignment, but as a people and ministry to which he and his wife, Lady Jennifer “Jen” Slaughter, are deeply committed.

Together, Bishop and Lady Slaughter work diligently alongside pastors, leaders, churches, and communities in Peru. Their ministry focuses on developing programs that teach, train, encourage, and empower people, providing practical tools that can strengthen individuals, families, churches, and communities.

Their approach to missions recognizes that lasting change occurs when people are given opportunities to grow. Through education, training, mentorship, and leadership development, they are working to help individuals discover their abilities and become active participants in improving their churches and communities.

Developing People, Not Just Programs

A central part of Bishop and Lady Slaughter's work is empowerment.

Their desire is not simply to bring resources into Peru, but to help people develop the knowledge, skills, confidence, and leadership necessary to create opportunities for themselves and others.

Programs and initiatives are being developed with an emphasis on education, personal development, leadership training, ministry preparation, and practical life skills. By investing directly in people, Bishop and Lady Slaughter are helping establish a foundation that can continue producing positive results long after a particular program or missions visit has ended.

This philosophy is especially important when working with young people and emerging leaders. Providing education and mentorship today can produce tomorrow's pastors, teachers, entrepreneurs, community leaders, and ministry workers.

Strengthening Pastors and Churches

Bishop Slaughter also works closely with pastors and ministry leaders throughout the Peru District Council.

His years of pastoral leadership, business education, administration, and financial management provide valuable experience as he works with leaders to strengthen local ministries and develop effective approaches to church growth and community service.

Rather than attempting to replace local leadership, the goal is to equip and empower leaders within Peru—helping pastors and ministry workers develop the tools necessary to serve their own communities effectively.

A Partnership in Missions

The ministry of Bishop and Lady Slaughter demonstrates the importance of serving together.

Their work in Peru is built upon relationships, consistency, compassion, education, and personal involvement. They continue investing their time and resources into programs designed to create meaningful opportunities for the people they serve.

For Bishop and Lady Slaughter, missions is more than traveling to another country. It is about building relationships with people, understanding their needs, developing solutions together, and helping individuals recognize the potential that already exists within them.

Their impact in Peru continues to be seen through the pastors and leaders they encourage, the programs they help develop, the people they teach, and the communities they serve.

Bishop Jon L. Slaughter and Lady Jennifer Slaughter are committed to helping build a stronger future in Peru—one person, one family, one leader, and one community at a time.
