THE YEAR OF THE PLAYGROUND - Each of the Peru sites have been richly blessed with the addition
various items of playground equipment this year. This process took a great amount of planning and effort from time they were taken out, cleaned and re-painted in Michigan; shipped via container to Peru; passed through a lengcustoms process and finally re-constructed in their new homes, where they have already been played on by hundredkids!! It has been truly amazing to see the joy in their faces as they run around, up and down these amazing structuof fun. A big THANK YOU to all who made it possible to relocate these playgrounds to the sites here in Peru!! A vSPECIAL THANK YOU to those who came and installed the sets here at our different sites; Lima Playground Tea(different churches in MI led by Rich Anderson); Andahuaylas Playground Team (East Martin CRC & Martin ReformChurch, Martin, MI); Pucallpa Playground Team (Gracespring Church, MI).

Shannon Eaton has played a number of significant roles for Kids Alive in Peand is missed greatly by staff and kids alike. A registered nurse by professiShannon supervised all the Health and Safety aspects for our ministries in Lima the last five years and also more recently in Andahuaylas. When she first arrivShannon took over as Sponsorship Coordinator for awhile and more recently wthe interim Children’s Home Director for the Juniper Tree while we were searchfor a new director. More than anything she showed a true servant’s heartwhatever she did. There were many times she would stay overnight with schildren at the hospital or let them recuperate at her apartment so that a houmom could have a break. Her apartment also became a hangout for some of Home graduates who appreciated a listening ear or some sage advice. In July
Juniper Tree held a goodbye party for Shannon, the highlight of which was oneour older girls with a yellow grocery bag on her hair pretending to be Shannand “bossing” the kids around and giving them health advice all with a NoAmerican accent. Shannon will be greatly missed by all who knew her here. Plepray for her in her transition back to life in Pennsylvania.
Farewell Shannon...

Juniper Tree Children’s Home , Pachacamac , Lima
As a result of a robbery at ourworkshop at the Juniper Tree, we have
decided to raise the height of our
perimeter wall. We have been workingon it for about a month now and are
half of the way around the property. Sofar the wall looks great and is sure to
keep any unwanted visitors out. Some
of our older boys have taken thisopportunity to learn a little more
about construction by helping thebricklayers. Our latest excitement has
come from the birth of thirteen piglets
to our very proud mama pig. The kidswere all present for the births and have
really enjoyed watching the pigletsgrow up. They learn great responsibility
from looking after the animals which
also include rabbits, chickens, cats, adog and even hamsters.
We had some repeating teams aswell as a number of new teams this
year which resulted in many new
friendships being made. One highlightof the year was the arrival of our
playgrounds for each of our ministrysites. At the Juniper Tree, the
installation was very much a group
effort as delays in customs caused thecontainer with the playgrounds in it to
arrive on site very late. That meantthat we had to call in many friends to
help and work well into the night to get
the playground installed before it wastime for the team to go home.
Separate teams went to Andahuaylasand Puca l lp a to ins tal l thos e
playgrounds and now all the kids in our
ministries are enjoying having their veryown park right on site.

Friends of Peru Children’s
Home, Andahuaylas
We thank God with all our hearts for
His mercy in our lives and His love that
never ends. We thank Him for His
constant provision for our needs
through the generous hearts that
support the ministry of the Oasis. May
God fill you with the most abundant
blessings.

Graduate Focus: Noe
About 10 years ago Noe was brought
to Andahuaylas by his very poor
parents from their small village. It is a
common practice for farming parents to
leave their children in the hands of a
city-dwelling family. In exchange for
giving them a home, the child is
expected to work for them during the
day and try to study at night.During his first year of this
arrangement, Noe's job was to rear the
pigs and graze the sheep and it was at
this time he found his way to the
Children's Home to inquire about the
possibility of being taken in. After
carefully investigating Noe's situation,
the Friends of Peru Children's Home
welcomed him into their care.
From very early on Noe proved to
humble, respectful and very responsi
in his studies. After finishing high sch
he decided to study Gastronomy a
soon became one of the best stude
in his class, even earning a scholars
to receive professional training in
city of Lima for two months.
Upon graduating from Gastrono
the opportunity arose for him
become an assistant in the kitchen
the best tour i st restaurant
Andahuaylas. As a result of his hone
and professional ability Noe w
recently entrusted with the leaders
of the kitchen. Currently 21 years
age, Noe loves the Lord, is an act
member of his congregation and wo
like to go to seminary soon in orderserve the Lord better.
We are proud of this you
professional that the Lord has enab
us to help through generous ch
sponsors and the International Orde
the King's Daughters and Sons!

Our New Beautiful Playground
We are incredibly grateful to God for
giving us the privilege to be a part of
His work and seeing lives changed by
the transforming power of the gospel.
Such is the case for our pre-kindergarten
children (ages 3 and 4 years) who
delight in listening to the Bible classes in
which Jesus is the super hero who lovesand cares for them, especially one who
can forgive their sins and make them
children of God by faith in Him.
The mothers in the Moms Helping
M oms p rog ra m c on t i nu e t h e i r
discipleship classes, studying a book
called “Christian Home”. They have also
begun to study the book "Lies Women
Believe and the Truth That Will Set You
Free". One grateful mom also just
received the blessing of having the walls
of her house repaired by a couple of
Canadian visitors to avoid the cold and
the night air.
During the month of August we
celebrated Children's Day with the
children learning that they are a special
treasure in the heart of God and
without faith it is impossible to please
Him. Their favorite chorus during the
month was "If you have faith like a
mustard seed…" (taken from Luke 17:6).

“Wait for the LORD; be strong and taheart and wait for the LORD.” (Ps. 27:
Wish List...
As previously mentio

h a d a n u m b e r
problems getting
container with playgro
equipment out of custoIt was very hard to
wait on the Lord. In
own strength we ema
we called, we tried
move our contacts
were getting increasi
frustrated, but at the end of the day it was really
time spent in prayer which not only mo
mountains (of paperwork) but also gave us stren
and His peace that He would work things out for
glory so that we could not take any credit.
It was with much relief that the container arr
at the Juniper Tree a day and a half before the te
left giving everyone just enough time to install it
dedicate it with the cement still wet. Praise God
His timing is always perfect and designed to mak
rely completely on Him so that He receives maxim
glory. Now if I could only learn that lesson really
so God doesn't need to teach it to me again soon.

We are very happy to report that this year’s newprogram the Homework Club has been welleceived and currently has 35 primary aged kids
enrolled. Our teachers are doing a fantastic job of ministering to the needs of these young lives through
Bible stories, dynamic classes of re-enforcing schoolessons and help with weekly homework
ass ignments . They are also growing newelationships with parents through visitation and
monthly workshops giving instruction in basic firstaid and safety in the home, among other topics.
We look forward to the beginning of the new club
eason as we start the AWANA program with ourwo younger age groups. We currently have 130 six
o eleven year-olds eagerly awaiting the 13th and4th of September!!
The third annual CAMP TEC was a highlight formany of our older club kids this summer. During theirst week of August we were joined by 45 of oureenagers for 5 days of everything extreme. The
obstacle course, the treasure hunt, the games, JuanPablo’s Challenge - all were part of a week of fun
also focused on a practical Bible study from the bookof James. 39 kids made commitments that week toive to the glory of God. Praise the Lord!September also sees the kick-off of our annualporting event Calichines (little league). It is an event
hat has been running for 30 years now in which teams
rom San José and the surrounding villages compete in
Soccer and Volleyball. This year we have 27 teams of 9
players ready to battle it out to see which will be
nvolved on finals night, the 15th of October.
Work still continues at the Children’s Home with Jamer

orchard. He and his wife,
Soila, have been caretakers
there for the past two years.
They also take care of two of
their grandchildren, one of
whom is Santiago*, a regular
at TEC’s older boys club.
Santiago has invited a
number of kids, from a recent
land invasion next to the
Home, to come and join himat the club, one specifically
named Juan* has become a
regular. Through this contact
Jamer has been able to get to
know some of the parents
now building small homes
close by and this past Friday
night was able to begin a
small group Bible study with
three couples including Juan’s
parents. Juan and Santiago
are both 13 years of age and
were among those who made
commitments during CAMP
TEC in August. Juan has also
joined Santiago in coming to
the local church.
