THE HEART OF WHAT WE DO 

We are committed to seeing the lives of Peruvian young people changed. Our community centers are the centerpiece of our efforts to provide a safe environment where young people can find hope by having basic needs met, by experiencing God’s love, and by having Peruvian role models come alongside them in an effort to equip them for a future. Young people that engage with our community centers grow in leadership and invest back into their communities. We witness a cycle of hope and restoration. ​

Casa de luz: A light in the Darkness 

Our community centers are a vital way to meet the needs of children and young people as an after-school program. The youngest children flood into our community center after 2 o’clock to meet with teachers, take computer classes, and learn all about the love of Jesus. Later, the older kids and teens come join us to use the space as a time to relax and hang out. At this time we also facilitate a young adult ministry and worship service. 

Through our engagement in the community, we often find the need take frequent trips to local orphanages, make home repairs, and help in so many other aspects of the community. We encourage you to follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to learn about these added opportunities!

LOMAS DE SAN FELIPE | Carabayllo

Children and teens can count on the community center every single week. Every child is provided with a hot lunch daily.  Our programs run Tuesday-Friday with Vacation Bible School (VBS) on Saturdays. VBS is a lively time that services an average of 600 children and young adults. VBS offers the kids another nourishing meal, lots of fun, and a time to learn more about our Lord.

Our short-term goal is to equip the children with technology  spaces and renovated playgrounds. Our buildings provide a nice, clean place for children who live in the slums to come after school.  The community center allows us to meet so many children and young adults. Therefore, our ministry has the opportunity to be dynamic and serve the community as whole, where we see the greatest need.
