Walking Where Jesus Would Walk.....

Recently we have been walking alongside one of our partners here in Rio in a neighborhood just a few blocks from our home.  They are "mapping" the neighborhood, introducing themselves to the residents, meeting the families and offering various forms of help to these needy people. 


Families are offered help in obtaining documentation for their children as there have been cases where the government has taken children away from their families for not having the proper identification.  Many of the single mothers here have many children, each one having a different father.

We pray for them and offer food, clothing and diapers where there is immediate need.  We also invite them to church and invite the children to the children's program where they can hear the gospel clearly presented.

This neighborhood is well hidden and many people don't know that it exists.  Some Brazilian brothers- and sisters-in-Christ that we have invited to go in this neighborhood with us have wept and said that they never knew it was there that there was so much need in this area.  

Please pray for us as we minister in this spiritually dark place.


Offering eternal hope,


Jeff and Diane
