Hola! My name is Karis Buendía, and I am from the beautiful (but very chilly!) beaches of Lima, Peru. During my senior year of high school, God’s grace captured my heart and completely transformed my life. Since then, He has led me on an incredible journey—starting with studying architecture in the US and eventually developing a passion for serving Him and others on the mission field.
I often wondered how architecture and missions could go hand in hand, and then God opened my eyes to EMI through some friends in college. After graduating, I had the opportunity of interning at the US office. I am so grateful to have found a community of like-minded individuals working to bring hope to a broken world through architecture and engineering.
This year, I am stepping out in faith and joining EMI on staff as a Fellow. I would love for you to come alongside me on this journey! Together, we can make a real impact and bring hope to communities in need all around the world. Would you prayerfully consider partnering with me and investing in my ministry?
