Crestwood U.M.C. started construction on a church that is connected with one of our programs. They sent money so the construction could be completed. We are so excited that the church had it’s first service and we now have a much nicer building for our program. The congregation is thrilled.

Without more financial partners this ministry can not continue to grow. We love you all and thank you for being part of God’s work in Peru.
