THE YEAR BEGAN STILL UNDER TIGHT RESTRICTION AND A TIME WHERE OUR PARTNERS SHIFTED AWAY FROM LARGE GROUPS AND TOWARD INDIVIDUAL CARE, MEETING BASIC NEEDS, AND DIGITAL TEACHING MINISTRIES.

OUR LARGEST PROGRAM IS PROVIDING FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR 17 FULL-TIME BRAZILIAN CHRISTIAN MISSIONARIES SERVING IN THESE PROGRAMS. THESE MISSIONARIES ARE SERVING IN THREE DIFFERENT STATES IN BRAZIL COORDINATING PROGRAMS AND CAMPS IN COMMUNITIES THAT RANGE FROM URBAN SETTINGS TO INDIGENOUS VILLAGES.

IN ADDITION WE SENT TWO NATIONAL TEAMS TO ASSIST WITH FLOOD RELIEF IN SOUTHERN BRAZIL. THE INITIAL RRT (RAPID RESPONSE TEAM) MADE GREAT PROGRESS, BUT THERE WAS STILL MORE TO BE DONE. OUR PARTNERS AT SOS GLOBAL AND THE EVANGELICAL ALLIANCE MISSION ASKED IF OAW COULD SEND ANOTHER TEAM BACK TO CRUZEIRO DO SUL IN ORDER TO COMPLETE THE RESTORATION WORK ON A LOW-INCOME CHILDCARE FACILITY, PREPARING OF AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN SO MIGUEL TO RECEIVE CHILDREN BACK, AND CONDUCT OPEN ARMS EVANGELISM AND DISCIPLESHIP MINISTRY WITH CHILDREN IN THE LOCAL SHELTER.
