Black and white lantern slide showing a group of smartly dressed Peruvian Christians with two European missionaries from the Peruvian Inland Mission. A sitting front row is made up of women, whilst a row of men stands behind them. The male missionary standing at the centre of the back row is Reverend Edward James Ball, who joined the mission in 1940. A female missionary sits in the centre of the front row, who is probably Eileen Ball, nee Davis. The Balls were based at Tarapoto in San Martin province, northern Peru. This slide comes from a collection created by the Peruvian Inland Mission, an evangelical mission started in 1930 by Miss Annie G Soper in northeast Peru, which was administered by the evangelical interdenominational mission, Regions Beyond Missionary Union from 1948.
