| Summary: | This paper explains the causes of the success of Adventist evangelism between Aymara and Quechua in Puno, Peru, during the second and middle of the third decades of the twentieth century, from the perspective of the mediation theory. In this regard, we show the symbolic mediation of the core of eschatological beliefs, which affirm the imminence of the end of times, in promoting the missionary project. We expose the pragmatic mediation of Adventist work in the areas of health and education in relation to the needs and demands of indigenous communities, and its impact on the literacy of their people. We analyze the social mediation of the evangelization program that is articulated with modernizing social change processes, contributing to the substitution of a caste social structure for a class social structure. As a result, the Seventh-day Adventist Church takes root and grows steadily among the indigenous population, until transforming the Lake Titicaca Mission into the most important Adventist association in South America during this period. |
