We are grateful to share about the opportunity God placed before us. Educators on Mission traveled to Chilca, Peru, where we had the privilege of serving alongside the ministry of Esperanza de Ana.

Esperanza de Ana is a Christ-centered ministry dedicated to sharing the love of Jesus with children and families in Peru. Their work focuses on strengthening families, supporting children who have experienced hardship or trauma, and building relationships that lead people toward Christ. Through education, discipleship, and community outreach, the ministry provides a place of healing and hope for vulnerable children and their families.

During the mission trip, our team partnered with the local staff and community in meaningful ways. We participated in service projects, worked alongside the Peruvian people in classrooms and ministry activities, and worshiped and prayed together with the local missionaries and church community. Our goal was to encourage local families while helping further the ministry’s mission of sharing Christ’s love in practical ways.
