What We’re Building
We are not just preparing programs—we are building a community shaped by God’s presence, joyful discipleship, and shared life. We are part of the global Youth With A Mission (YWAM) movement, serving in over 180 countries.
We listen before we lead
—building from God’s voice, not our own plans.
We choose covenant over convenience
—building relationships marked by commitment, trust, and staying when it’s hard.
We make Jesus visible
—in how we live, love, and serve in everyday life here in Lima.
We grow whole, not just busy
—forming rhythms that lead to life, rest, and health.
We go because He came
—forming people who know God and go where He sends—across Lima, Peru, and beyond.
Why Lima
Lima is a city of influence, diversity, and deep spiritual hunger. We believe God is inviting a YWAM discipleship community here that serves the city, strengthens the church, and sends people to the nations.
A city of influence
Lima gathers people, ideas, and opportunities from across Peru and beyond.
A place of real need
Deep spiritual hunger and real opportunities for patient, local ministry.
A base for sending
We believe Lima can become a place where disciples are formed and sent to Peru and the nations.
