Romans 12:9-13: 9 Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good. 10 Love each other with genuine affection,[a] and take delight in honoring each other. 11 Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically.[b] 12 Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying. 13 When God’s people are in need, be ready to help them. Always be eager to practice hospitality.
The Project
This project provides help for the underprivileged children of Las Delicias, Peru through donations. Over the past 9 years, the students of St. John's Lutheran School of Orange, California, along with several anonymous outside donors, have raised over $10,000 for projects at two schools in the village.
Las Delicias is a small coastal village in northern Peru. About 20 minutes from the city of Trujillo, it is made up of roughly 5000 families, many of whom live in poverty. The needs are varied and the intention of this project is to provide help in a variety of areas. The main focus for the past years has been on children's education. This has been principally in the form of supporting an elementary school (San Judas Tadeo), and presently, a preschool (I.E. 1613) with projects intended to improve the infrastructure.
The following pages document how when we reach out to, and love, those in need, so that the Lord can take that work and transforms lives.
