News & Events

On 1st December, the long-awaited Civil Case commences in Lima, Peru. A legal action has been raised in the civil courts against the Free Church of Scotland, the Colegio San Andrés and the former Headmaster, Donald Macaulay. The case deals with the events surrounding the tragic deaths of two pupils of Colegio San Andrés, Gianmarco Peschiera and Carlos Gonzales, on a school trip to Scotland on 31st July 2006.

Over these years, many in Scotland have been praying for the families affected, as well as the wider Colegio San Andrés family. The School now asks the Church in Scotland for earnest and sustained prayer. As the case approaches, there is great tension and anxiety within the School, and the whole San Andrés community would appreciate a sense of solidarity with the praying people of the Free Church of Scotland.

Please pray for a just, swift and decisive resolution of this case. Pray for the two families affected; pray for Donnie Macaulay and his family; and pray for the teachers, parents and pupils of Colegio San Andrés. Pray that God would be pleased to continue to bless the School into its second century of service.
