Over ten years ago, Irma, Ana, Vanessa, Tkay, David, Eddy, Jim, and others worked through the vision of a physically safe and emotionally secure environment where our God would heal bodies, emotions, and relationships. A place for the ministry of reconciliation to happen.

Our vision didn’t fit into any one category like school, children’s home, church, etc. We just envisioned creating a “space”. Throughout this year a common expression kept emerging that names our “space” in a simple yet profound way. As we listened to testimonies from visitors, mission team members included, we heard people say, over and over again, that being at EA was like experiencing the kingdom of God on earth. 

Wow!! As we follow Jesus in our daily Worship, Work, and Play the community at EA has become known and felt as part of God’s kingdom on earth in Chilca, Peru. The amazing national staff at EA are the FAITHFUL who serve and love and make this a reality. They are workers worthy of their wages. 

Our ¡Que Rico! 2024 goal of $50,000 is to cover the funds needed to provide for these precious brothers and sisters as they do the work of the kingdom every day. It is the redemptive relationships that happen during Worship, Work, and Play that make EA happen.

We invite you to invest with us this Christmas season and give a gift that will help Fund-the-FAITHFUL as they Worship, Work, and Play for God’s kingdom. Every day we post on Facebook and Instagram, you can follow along there or see our Posts Page if you don’t participate in social media.

 

Que Rico means 'how rich’ or' 'how delicious,' and reminds us to taste and see that God is good!
