Life Resource Center
A life resource center is central to the work in each community. In Manchay, Peru, a home base
facility has been established, which serves as the Life Resource Center. The goal is to help a community become sustainable by equipping the locals to maintain and manage this center. Over the past many years, much work has been done to equip and resource a sustainable community. In each situation, the goal is to equip locals to become successful and independent.
Our Story
Communities for Life designed plans, a concept video, and funded part of the construction costs for the Life Resource Center. However, due to title difficulties, an agreement was made, where Communities for Life decided not to take ownership of the facility. Alternatively, an arrangement was made with locals to be self-sustainable and to have dual use of the facility, making it the home base for Communities for Life until a second center could be built at another location.
Once the building became functional, Communities for Life encouraged the local team to start a school for children. The school is now well established in this facility is self-sustainable. Communities for Life facilitated the use of donated Jesus film equipment and partnered with a local team from the Church to reach out into various parts of Manchay. The efforts planted at least one small church and started a soccer program.
At its onset, Communities for Life sponsored a partnership with a ministry from South Carolina and funded a Leadership Program for local pastors for one year in the Life Center. The program became self-sustainable and continued with about 12 pastors. We work with multiple organizations to expand the reach and impact of both youth and church planting.
In 2022, we added a third-floor to the Life Resource Center to offer additional classrooms for middle school students. Additionally, third-floor classrooms are used for evening courses offering basic trades training.
