Gerry and Ruth Gutierrez and their sons Ben and Caleb, serve in the Valley of Huanta, high in the Andes Mountains of Peru. This is a high-risk area for drug-trafficking and terrorism as well as infectious diseases. 

Gerry, born in Huanta, Peru, graduated from the National University de San Cristobal de Huamanga of Ayacucho. He received his M.Div. from Covenant Theological Seminary and was ordained in March 1984. Ruth was born in Columbia, South Carolina, but grew up in Peru, the daughter of missionaries.

The Gutierrezes have ministered in various capacities in Peru, but since 1996 have worked with the Project Nehemiah Corporation in a “word and deed ministry” helping Quechua children orphaned as a result of terrorist activities. He is also involved in the prayer breakfast movement and the mentoring of young people.
