Crosspoint Church, we’re pleased to bring you a final update on your gift to launch a new child development center in Peru. Currently, 110 children are participating in holistic child development at Iglesia Bautista Independiente. Thanks to your generosity, children have access to healthy meals, education, and regular medical checkups and a Christ-centered church.

An Update From Pastor Victoriano
Dear Supporters,
I am honored to write to you, and greet you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Thank you for your generous hearts to support our center in Cusco. Because of your gift, we are improving the well-being of the most vulnerable children in our community.
Our child development center is equipped with first-aid kits, hygiene supplies and basic equipment to care for our children and monitor their growth. We also provide medical exams at the center.
Mothers received wool to make hats for their children so they are warm in the cold months. And tutors provide educational instruction for the children.
Through the center, our church sees great opportunities to share the gospel with the participants. We are always learning new things and enjoy working with our Compassion Partnership Facilitator to improve our services.
I am thankful to God, you all, and Compassion International for giving us this opportunity.
Blessings to you and your family,
Pastor Victoriano
