THESE MISSIONARIES ARE SERVING IN THREE DIFFERENT STATES IN BRAZIL COORDINATING PROGRAMS AND CAMPS IN COMMUNITIES THAT RANGE FROM URBAN SETTINGS TO INDIGENOUS VILLAGES. CHILDREN FROM MORE THAN 400 FAMILIES ARE PROVIDED SPIRITUAL AND CIVIC INSTRUCTION, ACADEMIC SUPPORT, AND NUTRITIONAL ASSISTANCE ON A DAILY BASIS THROUGH THIS NETWORK OF NEIGHBORHOOD OUTREACH MINISTRIES.Expenses $159,132 · grants $141,602

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.
