The Garbage Dump People | Trujillo, Peru
Facts
• More than 500 people live and/or work in the garbage dump in Trujillo, Peru.
• Trujillo is the third largest city in Peru; it never rains in this desert region.
• There are 300 million youth in Latin America, most of whom do not have a relationship with Jesus Christ.
• Most Latin American youth pastors have little to NO training in youth ministries.
Needs
• Complete a children’s home/orphanage to house children living in the garbage dump.
• Connect with the garbage dump kids to show them LOVE in practical ways while telling them about Jesus.
• Provide parenting classes and micro-business options for those caught in the “garbage community,” giving families hope and a future.
Prayer Focus
1. Pray for each child wandering through the garbage dump.
2. Pray for the Peruvian church youth groups that are sharing God’s love in the dump through Saturday children’s programs.
3. Pray for speedy construction of the children’s home/orphanage so the desperate needs can be addressed more completely.
4. Pray that the local church will not get discouraged from ministering in this area filled with disease, desperation, and death.
Resourcing
Step One is to purchase land for the home/orphanage. Step Two is to build and operate the children’s home. Your contribution, along with those of others, will make these ministry goals a reality. The kids in the garbage dump need help immediately—we must help them NOW.
Three-Year Project Goal
• $70,000 will provide a facility where food, housing and clothes will be available for many garbage dump kids.
• All it takes is 25 youth groups that make a three-year commitment to give $79 per month.
• How many scores of children could we rescue from the dump in Trujillo? Let’s dream BIG
