Goodbye to Scripture Union Peru's old Lima center

As many of you already know, Scripture Union's old boys' home in Lima and main office building is being demolished soon. Scripture Union has decided to invest in this very valuable piece of property in order to financially support our ministries throughout Peru. In it's place will go a brand new shopping center. We have moved our boys' program and our offices out to Chosica (a beautiful place just on the outskirts of the city of Lima).

I had the opportunity to go and visit the building one more time a couple of weeks ago, and I thought that I would post some of these pictures for any of you who have been to our center in Lima. It is sad to think of all of the memories in that building, but at the same time change is sometimes necessary, and I am excited to see what lies ahead for Scripture Union in Peru.


The building from the outside


The old auditorium where groups used to sleep on the floor (now with no ceiling)


A pile of rubble on the 5th floor looking toward the Centro Civico


Some of the Girasoles left their mark on the walls
