Family Trip To Peru

For many years we’ve wanted to take our family on a missions trip, learning and serving together. And finally, it happened! We celebrated Christmas in a memorable way, as we visited Ayacucho, Peru and volunteered at an orphanage.

The orphanage is operated by a local church, and we served with their U.S. partner, Vision Trust, an agency whose mission is to develop orphaned and neglected children into mature Christians equipped to live in their own culture. They do this by enabling Christian nationals to meet the physical, educational, emotional and spiritual needs of these children.

Together with two other families, we showed kindness and Christ’s love to the 38 orphans at Casa Luz. We also worked a bit on some land the orphanage is developing.

We are so thankful God worked through us to touch the lives of the children we met! Also, that He gave us safe and relatively smooth journeys.

    What a coincidence, or better God’s gift.
    Our family of 6 just did te smae thing. We spent 3 weeks in Guatemala over Christmas. We spent time at a medical clinic, a feeding center, an orphanage and a Catholic mission.

    Enrico, you have a lovely family! I’m glad you too could experience Christmas at an orphanage, and pray God will continue to touch your family as you serve the fatherless – and Him.
