Josh and Nicole Wilke
The Wilkes are passionate Jesus followers, family lovers, and justice fighters, serving in Arequipa, Peru. Josh and Nicole met in high school, were married and moved to Africa, where they had the opportunity to learn from and serve with a Namibian-led foster care organization. After that experience, they received more education, made connections, and watched God open doors to move back to the field.
Now with their daughters, Pearl and Eliana, they are living in Peru to obey God’s call to come alongside and unite orphan care ministries, local churches, government agencies and NGOs who want to see vulnerable children cared for in families and with the love of Christ. They have a deep desire to see the Church care for the fatherless, empower the marginalized, and journey with the lost, and are excited to develop, empower, and release church and community leaders to care for vulnerable children with excellence.
