Brazil
The Reality...
Just like other slums in the world, the people living in the slums of Recreio Brazil face harsh realities. The slums of Brazil are often full of violence, drug trafficking, drug addition, broken families, lack of education, poor living conditions, sickness, unemployment and social breakdown on various levels. Many people living in the slums are in great need of encountering the love of God and a hope for a better future.
As a Brazilian, Jr Feitosa, returned to Belo Horizonte, Brazil after finishing college to start a lighthouse for children in the slums. Seventy children were offered one meal a day, 35 in the morning and 35 in the afternoon, based on space and food availability. With a passion to bring this message of God's LOVE and HOPE to the people living here, Christian teams, from various denominations, joined forces with this local man and his family and would come and work at the Lighthouse.
Scatter Christ took a team to these slums and loved on these children, praying for God to transform each of them spiritually, intellectually, physically, emotionally and socially. What a blessing! What a transformation of ourselves! What a eye opening experience!
19 “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father,
and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to observe all that I have
commanded you and lo I will be with you always until the end of the age.
