SUMMER 2024

PAST BENEFICIARIES

In one short week it is amazing the bond that a mission team
develops with their home build family. Thoughts and prayers for
them continue long after they have returned to the states. Because
of this strong connection, we have added to our mission schedule
the opportunity for returning mission visitors to see their past
families again and witness progress and circumstances since there
first encounter. It has proven to be a very emotional reunion of
families connecting with one another again.

FISH - N - LOAVES DISTRIBUTION

We strongly strive to follow our faith Mission, following
Christ’s teachings in Matthew 25 and the path of our
founders, to serve the least of our brothers and sisters.

“For I was hungry and you

gave me something to eat, I
was thristy and you gave me
something to drink, I was a
stanger and you invited me in.”

Mission visitors have the opportunity to feed over
250 families in surrounding communities outside of
Chimbote. Each family receives a large Bonito fish and
a bag of Anemia Bread that is baked in our very own
ACAF Bakery. This is a beautiful gift for these families
to receive and they wait in line all day to receive it
and to be welcomed by our generous visitors from the
states. It is a joyous event and a time to break bread
together and form life-long relationships.
