Josh and Jennifer Hire, along with their three children, Lucy, Henry, and Maggie, lived and served in the northern jungles of Peru from 2016 to 2025. During those years, they partnered closely with local believers and leaders to strengthen the church among the Shawi people.

Josh now serves with MV as the Director of Church Strengthening, where he networks with, mentors, and encourages missionaries around the world as they pursue healthy, thriving churches within their communities.

Though now residing in the United States, Josh and Jennifer continue to oversee and support the work in Peru. A central part of this ministry is the Shawi Discipleship Center, a training hub dedicated to equipping Shawi church leaders. MV Perú also engages in advocacy alongside our Shawi brothers and sisters, supporting initiatives in healthcare, clean water, education, and agricultural development.

Our vision is to see a church that is self-governing, self-replicating, and self-supporting, led by men and women firmly grounded in Kingdom principles.
