Location: Brazil, State of Rio Grande do Sul

Ministry Focus: We believe that God will continue to change the hearts and future of children, from infants to 18 years of age, who are placed in our care when they were rescued from situations of abandonment, abuse, rejection, gang activities, drug addictions and sexual exploitation. We invest in todays generation in the most violent country in the world towards adolescents.

For 12 years we have been witnessing how a nation is impacted when youth do not stay silent about what God is doing in their lives and follow: Acts 20:24

But my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus—the work of telling others the Good News about the wonderful grace of God.

Not religion, but a true daily intimate relationship with God.  As per quote "Darkness cannot drive out darkness: Only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: Only love can do that.” (Martin Luther King Jr).

Witnessing God transform hearts and lives as these children pour themselves out before Him is truly an amazing experience!
