transformation in a forgotten
area of
the world
At risk students in Peru rarely climb out of poverty
often resulting in exploitation,
criminal activity, and chronic family crisis
Without new opportunities
these students are
+ Struggling to complete high school,
let alone higher education
+ Vulnerable to predators & illegal activity
+ Repeating cycles of poverty & at-risk behaviors
+ Starting families as unprepared teenagers
+ Unexposed to positive gospel & discipleship role models
Because we believe the Gospel transforms lives,
we respond to the needs of the whole person
to prepare them for the workforce
and all of life
We believe they've been waiting for this
“I know my sons will study here, but can I too?”

Growing up
in extreme
poverty isn't easy
Some families have
to choose between
farming & school
Temptations to engage
in illegal farming abound
While many universities
are free to students,
the cost of travel & lodging are
often unattainable
But we know
that the story
doesn't end there
Jesus has called all of us to help spread the
Good News to the
ends of the earth
​
Some of us have been called to serve on the front lines
​
Some of us are called to send and empower through prayer
​
Spiritual warfare is real
The good news
is that with
your help, new
opportunities
can become
reality
for the past 26 years

Your donation helps youth like Nayeli
At age 17, Nayeli moved 4-5 hours
away from her parents to study.
With the El Camino training center, she can stay
in her area, live with her parents,
and study as she matures emotionally.
Then she can decide to put her learning into practice
or seek further education, feeling more sure of who
she is and what she wants to do.
