At WMF Peru, we have an increasing call to support women who are working in the sex trade and their vulnerable children. We long to respond to this leading by embracing and empower these families.
We are in the process of developing both an intervention program and a prevention program.
Prevention
Our prevention program will address areas of extreme poverty in the outlying districts of Lima; areas with little or no access to basic services and where large numbers of children are at risk of neglect, violence, and abuse. This is an arduous and challenging task, and we trust that God will provide if He is indeed asking us to move forward with this in obedience.
Intervention
Our Intervention program will focus on the red-light districts where women and children are being exploited and abused. We hope to intervene on behalf of children who, sadly, witness daily the work of prostitution in their neighborhood and homes. This is a difficult and risky task, but we are convinced that God has prepared the ground for it now.
In both endeavors, we will need both prayer and financial support. Please pray with and for us as we enter into new challenges and faithfully commit to the work of redemption for the glory of God. We are grateful for your prayers and your financial support in the past and hope our partnership will
We are grateful for your prayers and your financial support in the past and hope our partnership will continue to thrive and grow as we walk in obedience.
With gratitude to God for the work he has done, and with humility and vulnerability, we rest in His protection and provision.
Grace and peace.
