Tim & Holly Anderson

Tim grew up in Virginia and Holly in Ecuador as a missionary kid. They both attended Columbia International University, and Tim went on to take classes at the University of South Carolina. They married in 2001 and now have five kids. Tim worked flipping houses, as a youth pastor, and as the operations director of Hydromissions before moving with his family to the Cuzco area of Peru to run The Blue Castle Ministry House.

The inspiration for this name came from L.M. Montgomery’s book called “The Blue Castle” — a beautiful story of redemption and restoration, a story in which it is granted that you do not always get what you want, but what you do get is often so much better -- what you actually need. 

Running a guest ministry house in their home has given them the unique opportunity to have two to 12 people living with them at all times since they moved to Peru in 2016. The Blue Castle Ministry house stands as a lighthouse for hope. It is a beautiful, safe space where the Holy Spirit is given room to change and transform lives.   

Tim and Holly’s work in Peru is rich and diverse. They work in orphanages and are involved in church plant enrichment and development as well as community water and sanitation projects. These different avenues give unique opportunities for the teams living with them to experience what God is doing at a grassroots level right now in Peru.
