Mission
Our mission is to love as many children as possible, while making Jesus famous along the way.
Vision
Our vision is to be a House of Light (Casa de Luz) for the children, teens, and families who live on the hillsides of Comas and Carabayllo, Peru. These are two of the poorest districts of Lima.
We are pursuing this vision by operating a community center where our Peruvian staff loves, mentors, and ministers to the children and teens who live on the hillsides. We let them know that Jesus is the One who saves, the One who loves, and the One who provides. We offer them community, leadership training, biblical teaching, a safe place to hang out, computers where they can do their homework, and access to nourishing meals. We employ teens from the area that engage with our community centers and grow through our leadership and mentoring and invest back into their communities. The impact of this work naturally spreads into the community as the families of these children and teens see the lives of their kids transformed. Our desire is to establish additional community centers in Comas and Carabayllo.
Values
1. Compassion and Service:
Reflecting James 1:27, we value the importance of caring for those in need, such as orphans and widows, through active and heartfelt service.
2. Authentic Love:
Inspired by John 3:18, we believe in demonstrating genuine love through actions and truth, not just words.
3. Hope and Endurance:
Romans 12:12 emphasizes the importance of maintaining joy in hope, patience in adversity, and faithfulness in prayer.
4. Dependence on God:
Psalm 46:1 guides us to rely on God as our refuge and strength, seeking His ever-present help in times of trouble.
