By adopting a missioner you can support the work the missioner is doing by sponsoring back sales, car washes, penny drives, doing without Starbucks or Soda every day, to name a few ideas.  Your generosity and sacrifice can help the missioner who is serving in Brazil.

Reaching the Young People of Brazil.

This year World Youth Day comes to Brazil.  However, most of the young people I work with cannot afford to go to Rio, which is a 5 hours bus ride away.

They told me they have never had a Starbucks Coffee because they are just too expensive.  One young woman told me she loved McDonalds and once a year she got a hamburger. 

My ministry with the youth of São Paulo is in Education including English, Culture & Communication.  Only 15% of the youth go on to college, hopefully the skills I help teach will give some of the young people a chance to go to college.

“For I was in prison and you can to visit me” Matthew 25 

This scripture has new meaning now as I assist with two woman’s health classes in two prisons in Brazil.  One group has foreigners and pregnant Brazilians.  The other group is for woman over 55. 

Most of the women we meet are victims of poverty.  The majority are involved in drug trafficking.  And most of them did it because of a concern for their family. 

Once a week we try to provide them with some information about their health.  And we offer them the gift of our presence.   Yesterday we did the course in Portuguese, English, & Spanish.  Not everyone understood everything.  But we all felt the support offered by a group of woman coming together.
