Christmas in Callejones, Peru

Christmas in Callejones, Peru is more than just a date on the calendar. It is the most anticipated time of the year the moment children at the Compassion Center look forward to with excitement, hope, and joyful expectation. Among poor streets and shy smiles, the local church led by Pastor Jaime has witnessed how the light of Christ shines where there was once darkness.

This Center is one of thousands around the world where Compassion sponsors and local churches provide children a safe and a joyful place to grow. During this special season, each child has the opportunity to learn the true meaning of Christmas: Jesus Christ.

Through a Christmas gift, we share the love of the Lord in a way that goes far beyond a moment. What may seem like a small present becomes a treasured memory for a child a gesture that affirms their worth and reminds them that God sees them. These acts of generosity also strengthen their communities, planting seeds of hope where they are needed most.

Every donation to "Christmas Gift" is more than a contribution. It is a seed planted in fertile soil an act of love that travels from your heart to every Compassion Center throughout Latin America.

A small gift is deeply valued because it tells each child: You matter. You are seen. God cares for your life.

Thanks to you, all of this is possible. Your generosity has a greater impact than you may imagine. Thank you for helping us light up Christmas for children who need it most, offering them a tangible reminder of God’s love an embrace wrapped in gift paper, a gesture that speaks louder than words.

You can be part of sharing Christ’s love with an entire family! Call or write to us to send a special Christmas donation. Be the reason a child smiles this season.

Thank you for being part of this family that believes in compassion, in faith, and in the life-changing power of Christ’s love. Without you, none of what we do would be possible. May the peace of the Lord shine in your heart and remind you once again that “Jesus is God’s gift to our lives.” gain that “Jesus is God’s gift to our lives.”

“…and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.” Matthew 1:23 (NKJV)

Merry Christmas!
