Robert Barriger is considered a valuable point of reference for thousands of pastors in Latin America and the Caribbean. Without a doubt the work accomplished by his church gives him authority to speak about ways that a congregation of believers can become a relevant influence within its community, including the establishment of medical, political, business and family programs as few other congregations on the American continent have done. Barriger is the lead pastor of the Camino de Vida (Way of Life) Church in Lima, Peru, one of the most influential churches in the country and throughout all of South America. This church has carried out a variety of projects of cultural and governmental influence in service to its community. Barriger is from the United States and is connected to the Hillsong movement in his home country, although he has lived for many years in Peru. A variety of ministries and pastors on the continent, among them ministers of international prestige as Danilo Montero, Marcos Witt, Andrs Corson, the Aguayos and other well-known ministers, look at Pastor Barriger as a valuable point of reference in their own ministries. His book, La iglesia relevante, is undoubtedly required reading for anyone who wants their own church to grow in quality as well as quantity and to make a profound impact on the society around it.
