Nourishing Hope: Feeding Hearts and Minds in Peru
FEEDING FAMILIES IN NEED
Our team in Peru packed and distributed food bags filled with essentials like rice, pasta, grains, and vitamin drinks to families facing food insecurity. Each bag was more than just nourishment—it was a tangible reminder of God’s love in action. Your support can help us continue to feed those in need. A small gift goes a long way toward making a big impact.
EMPOWERING WOMEN FOR A BRIGHTER FUTURE
In partnership with Monte Sion Church, we hosted their first-ever women’s conference. We covered important topics like first aid, healthy relationships, grief, and self-worth. The women left feeling empowered and equipped with practical knowledge to care for themselves and their families. Your generosity can help us continue to bring hope and healing to women in marginalized communities.
JOYFUL MOMENTS WITH CHILDREN
Our puppet shows, crafts, and music brought smiles and laughter to preschool and elementary-aged children in Peru. Through storytelling and creative arts, we shared the message of God’s love with these young hearts. Your gift will help us continue to touch the lives of children through creative ministry.
PROVIDING CLEAN WATER TO SCHOOLS
Access to clean water is a basic necessity, yet many schools in Peru face water quality issues. We distributed water filters to schools, ensuring children have safe water to drink. Help us provide more clean water solutions to these communities with your donation—every drop counts.
