Overview
We live in rural Paraguay and work with vulnerable children and young people through our ministry, Paraguay Perspective.
Our work centres around an Educational Centre, which provides a safe and supportive environment for children, teenagers and young adults. Through literacy classes, youth clubs, camps, skills workshops and marriage enrichment groups, we provide a space where every person is seen, valued, and believed in. Our passion is to help young people grow in confidence, character, and faith in God, discovering that their lives have purpose and that their futures can be shaped by His love.
In addition to this, we lead the Oasis Centre, a retreat space that supports cross-cultural workers and missionary families. We also facilitate gatherings and camps for TCKs (Third Culture Kids) providing encouragement and connection for the teens of those serving far from home.
