“Missions is the overflow of our delight in God because missions is the overflow of God’s delight in being God”
- John Piper -
Meghan grew up in a Christian home, dedicating her life to Christ shortly after high school. Scott was raised in a non-Christian home and trusted Christ during his sophomore year in high school. The two met during those years through a drama ministry program at Meghan’s church. Growing to be good friends, the Dillons were married in the fall of 2003. Scott graduated from North Western College in 2006 with a B.A. of Intercultural Ministries. Their passion for the mission work grew increasingly as they sought the Lord’s direction and encouragement from family and friends. They have three children: Rachel (7/3/2007), Mark (5/21/2009) and Penelope (12/8/2010).
Prior to coming to Peru, Scott had worked with music ministry and youth ministry while being heavily involved with a pastoral apprenticeship program at their church. Through these experience, Scott and Meghan both bring a passion for working with young adults and church discipleship to the mission field.
Scott received his bachelor of arts degree (Intercultural Ministreis) from Northwestern College in 2006. In 2011, Scott started his coursework in seminary at Reformed Theological Seminary to help prepare him for vocational ministry and ordaination.
Scott and Meghan work primarily with and through an MTW-partnered church in a lower-income neighborhood of Cusco called San Jeronimo. The church currently does not have a national pastor and therefore the leadership and church members fulfill all of the ministries of the church. Scott and Meghan assist in various ministries while providing leadership development and training through discipleship and formal courses.
Jesus’ model of discipleship was intimacy through friendship and example, not programs and events. The Dillons’ model of discipleship is the same in that they approach ministry to individuals as a relationship that starts with a simple, but powerful, friendship. This actually works very well in the Peruvian culture where the relationship between people determines everything. Ministry is relational and starts with a churro, not a pulpit.
Maintaining the direction and health of a church can be difficult without a pastor. The current church does not have one and therefore training in leadership is seen as a top priority. Scott ministers alongside the current leadership of the church without holding an official title and is passionate about seeing nationals do the work of the ministry. He sees his role as a ministry and theology trainer than a hard and fast leadership position. Aside from assisting in various ministries of the church, Scott teaches three-month courses on leadership (teaching, counseling, etc) and theology (doctrine, bible, etc) twice a year.
Scott and Meghan have a strong passion for orphan-care ministries and have the privilege of working with an orphanage started by the mission in Cusco in 2009. The Josephine House is a home for babies 
born into difficult situations of alcohol or physical abuse, extreme poverty and abandonment. The Dillons specifically provide administrative assistance (Scott as the treasurer and Meghan as a liaison to the mission agency) for the orphanage.
In August, 2011, Scott and Meghan pursued the foster-care of two children from the Josephine House and are waiting for their placement with them. Their hope is that after two of years fostering a brother and sister couple, they will be legally theirs through adoption.
Scott is an ESTP. That means that he is more of an abstract thinker yet has a high adaptability. Scott assists his greater team in Cusco by helping with day-to-day aspects of being a missionary in a developing country. Furthermore, he provides assistance with the short-term teams that visit Cusco throughout the year.
