Good Shepherd (Buen Pastor) Child Development Center

The Good Shepherd Child Development Center is in the San Juan de Lurigancho district just outside Lima, Peru’s capital. Many have come to the city to find economic opportunity. The women in this community are often abused by the men, while gang violence and drug abuse flood the lives of teenagers. On average, the people in this area make less than $100 a month. Many men work 12 hour days and others have jobs that consist of hard manual labor. The Good Shepherd Childcare Center began with followers of Christ serving one meal each week to the children from surrounding neighborhoods. The center is now managed through AMG by the Apón family, who give the children the attention they deserve. They share Bible lessons, have songs, play games, celebrate birthdays, and give medical assistance when needed. The community is now growing into a place where the Gospel is not only proclaimed but also demonstrated through the lives of those involved.
