DTS is an exciting time of growing with the Lord.

We are so grateful for all the teams that come to serve in the slums of Lima, Peru. The team from Indiana was a true blessing to the ministry, and we were able to be a blessing to them. This involved conducting Bible study, prayer time, sports and English lessons, speaking and witnessing to children, teenagers, women’s and men’s activities, practical work, and much evangelism and home visits in the neighborhood. We have been able to pray with many people for restoration and healing. God is good and faithful. Please pray with us that God will let the seeds continue to grow.

Their visit to Brazos Abiertos was a tremendous blessing; they served at the school by assisting with physical education classes and other subjects. With the church, they helped us with door-to-door visits, small group meetings, prayer services, and much more. The Mother’s Day celebration was a true blessing, and the food was delicious. God is faithful; He brings teams to serve—and to be blessed in return.

The entire extended family of Colegio Brazos Abiertos had the privilege of honoring the mothers of our students. Through songs, poems, skits, and readings of biblical verses, our children expressed their love and appreciation for their mothers. Afterward, the mothers enjoyed moments of joyful fellowship in the classrooms, where they were affirmed in the love and respect they deserve for fulfilling the vital role of raising and shaping their children. We give thanks to God for the lives of these beautiful, brave, and hardworking women—the best friends to their children—who strive every day to give them nothing but the best.

The Mother’s Day celebration at the church was a truly beautiful occasion. It was a delight for all the men to be able to celebrate this day in honor of all the lovely, beautiful, wise, and virtuous mothers; it was a truly special evening of family togetherness.

May God bless all the mothers of Brazos Abiertos!

Amidst laughter, heartfelt conversations, and simple moments that may seem small, God is also at work in profound ways in the lives of our teenagers. Every shared smile, every word of encouragement, and every moment experienced together strengthens friendships, builds trust, and leaves lasting impressions that can touch hearts forever. How beautiful it is to see them enjoy themselves in wholesome ways, grow in unity, and remember that—even in the simplest of moments—God continues to guide, care for, and shape their lives with love.

This year we are serving over 200 children in preschool and elementary school. This is a great number! Considering our beginnings, we are grateful that God has blessed us with great progress.
The team of volunteers has grown. Today we have teachers in charge of the classrooms, assistants, and specialists dedicated to teaching languages, art, and sports. We also have a team of professionals who address the children’s special needs: academic support and tutoring, speech therapy, and psychological support in cases of autism and other similar conditions.
The parents are also growing in their commitment and participation in this project that God is using to restore families in Nueva Juventud and the surrounding areas of Cieneguilla, Lima, Peru.
Let us pray, asking God for His presence and blessing throughout this year.

We experienced a wonderful time in God’s presence during the praise night with the Livingsong ministry from the United States. All the families worshipped God’s name through praise and we were able to experience God’s presence in our lives. As the Word says in Psalm 22, God dwells in the midst of the praises of His people.

My experience as a volunteer with Brazos Abiertos has been transformative in every way. I’ve learned valuable lessons that strengthen my mind and heart, developed professional skills while collaborating with a committed and passionate team, and deepened my Christian faith by serving those most in need. Every activity, every smile, and every shared story taught me the importance of empathy, love for others, and selfless service. This experience not only allowed me to grow professionally and intellectually but also to live my faith in action and understand how small gestures can have a profound impact on the lives of others.
