DEVINAMU

Necessity is the mother of ministry. DEVINAMU was born out of the need of a fight against abortion in Peru. Although abortion is illegal, there is one illegal abortion every two minutes in Peru – per capita, more than the illegal abortions in the United States the year before Roe v. Wade. Pastor David Perry Cruz has begun the fight in the southern jungles of Peru. DEVINAMU (an acronym for the spanish: We must defend the life of the unborn and the woman) was founded to fight this crime against the unborn and their uneducated mothers. One of their projects is a first of its kind home for unwed mothers, giving them hope, education and occupational training – equipping them for the future. Land has been aquired, plans made and preliminary construction begun. But much work remains.
