We are YWAM Lima, Brazos Abiertos (Open Arms), a ministry passionate about families living at high risk. Our mission is to restore families to the level of family that God had in mind when He created them. We are part of a worldwide network of missionaries called Youth With A Mission and since February 2011 working in Lima, Peru. Our family center is located in ´Nueva Juventud´, a human settlement on the eastern edge of the city of Lima.
Many families suffer from the broken image of a family, rejection, neglect, abuse and divorce. Self-esteem is undoubtedly very low. We teach the victory that God offers us and we sow very important values of which the most important is: I…..YES I CAN!!! Our strength is found in personality and working with small groups. This way we can get to know all the families and train them on an individual basis.
In the family center we work with all the members of the families divided into the different programs.
We work in an area where more than 10 thousand people live, of which we are the only ministry working with them. We develop new programs full time that fit our objective.
