Seeking Justice in Peru

PC(USA) mission worker Jed Koball’s service with the Joining Hands program in Peru takes him to La Oroya, one of the 10 most polluted cities in the world. A study showed that 97 percent of the city’s children have lead poisoning, a condition that can reduce a child’s intelligence and stunt physical growth. Watch Jed talk about the children of La Oroya and the work he’s doing with Peruvian partners and U.S. Presbyterians to bring justice to this community. Married in 2010, Jed is accompanied in service by his wife, Jenny.

But let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an everflowing stream. (Amos 5:24)
