David Miller
Dave started coming to Peru in January 1992 and fell in love with the country. Since, he’s made an effort to come for a visit every two years with his late wife, Vickie. As an avid jogger, Dave enjoys running early in the mornings. He was doing so when he saw small children eating from the garbage. That motivated him to try to help these children.
Before starting the orphanage his pastor preached on James 1:27, and that inspired him even more to start the orphanage in Peru. To get the funds, he sold his old business, and then followed the procedures to build Hogar de Esperanza. He was fortunate to meet some honest businessmen in Peru, and that helped him get things moving. Later on he formed a nonprofit organization in Peru and in the United States called “Saving Street Children“. The Peruvian government was very useful to help with the complex regulations. The orphanage opened its doors to the first orphan in February 2002. Since then, we have expanded the programs at the orphanage, built another building and social projects have added to our ministry.
His late wife, Vickie, was a great help to drive the orphanage. She went to be with the Lord in November 2007, but her love for God and education live in the hearts of all workers and children of Hogar de Esperanza. Thanks for your continued support.
Pablo Cenepo-Torres
After completing his seminary training and enjoying three years serving in a Korean-American church in the DC area, he and his wife Sarah decided to return to Peru in 2002 to serve alongside dear missionaries Bert and Colleen Elliot. Since that time, they have been supporting the work at Centro Biblico Trujillo, where he serves as one of the elders. Before joining the orphanage board, Pablo enjoyed serving the orphanage with missions’ teams periodically coming to offer their assistance. He and his wife Sarah have four daughters, Abigail, Hannah, Gabriela and Selah. All four of them attend “Four Arrows Christian School,” a fancy name to identify their homeschooling program.
