Restoring Children International
Restoring Children International works with its sister organization in Peru called Restaurando Esperanza Internacional - Peru in South America. Our two organizations work in cooperation with the Peruvian court system to rescue and restore the lives of Peruvian female children and youth. We additionally work with local pastors to reach out to at risk children and families in Peru's marginalized communities with a main focus on the province of Arequipa and the city of Arequipa itself.

Our Heart and mission is to set an example of love and hope for the family in a practical manner by sheltering, educating, and restoring lives. We accomplish this through:
*Reach out to those in need, abandonment, and exploitation. *Build projects that will meet those needs. *Partner with interested individuals, businesses, churches, civic organizations, and others both on the foreign field and in the Western World in order to carry out our mission.
Our particular call to action must be focused if we are to complete our mission. Our main attention is given to the following: •To rescue and restore female children who have been victimized by ignorance •To provide them with education and training so that they will be able to care for themselves and raise healthy, loving families.
We strongly feel that this is our responsibility before God and our fellow man.
1. We believe that the Bible is the inerrant and authoritative Word of God inspired by the Holy Spirit.
2. We believe that there is but one God, creator of the entire universe, coexistent in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
3. We believe in the Fall of Man, through the Original Sin when Adam, tempted by the Devil, disobeyed God thus incurred condemnation upon all mankind.
4. We believe that Jesus Christ is God the Son, the second person of the Trinity. We believe in His virgin birth, the cleansing of our sins through the shedding of His blood, His physical, bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His soon return for His children in all splendor and power.
5. We believe that salvation is only by faith in Jesus Christ through God?s grace imparted unto us and that we cannot do anything in and of ourselves to merit this great gift.
6. We believe in the impartation of the Holy Spirit, given to all true believers in Christ, for empowerment to live holy lives before God and man.
7. We believe in the resurrection of the dead. Eternal life for those who have truly accepted Jesus Christ as Savior. Eternal condemnation for those who have rejected Him.
8. We believe that the Christian church is comprised of all true believers in Christ.
9. We believe that all Christians must strive for the unity of our common faith, laying aside our particular dogmas in order to effectively reach this hurting and dying world that God has entrusted into our hands.
10. We believe in Christ?s great commission given unto His followers to go into the entire world to make and baptize disciples. We believe that in doing so, we must be instruments of His healing and great love that binds up the broken hearted and offers living hope to those in despair.
11. We believe that those of us who were privileged to be born into prosperous nations or who are enjoying prosperity in poor countries have a great responsibility before God to share our resources with those who have not, with those who have little or no voice in their societies.
12. We believe in the soon physical return of Jesus Christ to receive both the living and the dead who have truly called upon His name for eternal life.
13. We believe in the Great White Throne Judgment wherein God will personally and individually judge all mankind based on their deeds and faith or lack thereof in Christ Jesus.
