Project
The Sedli
MANAUS, BRAZIL
Every January we take a team into the city of Manaus, Brazil. We have five communities that we serve there. These are areas of high abuse. We do home visits, provide for physical needs, and also gather the women and children for a day of crafts and Bible teaching. We have a fantastic Brazilian partner who provides vital discipleship for the new believers there. We are building relationships, and have seen amazing growth in knowledge and faith in Jesus. It is exciting to see women who a few years ago were filled with despair and hopelessness, and now they are leading others and have found value and purpose in Christ.

Highlights of Trip
AMAZON in BRAZIL
We have adopted a village in the interior of the Amazon, Nova Esperança (New Hope). When we first arrived, there were zero Christians in this village of 70 families. Now there are over 40 believers, including the village leader and his wife. We take two trips a year. During our visits we do home visits, providing family food packs, first aid items, and feminine hygiene products. We always share the gospel, and if the river is down, and there is dry ground available, we also gather the community for food, laughter, and then divide into groups of women, men, and children to provide more teaching about Jesus. We provide Bibles for those who can read, and for those who cannot read, we provide solar-powered audio Bibles.
We also work with our partner church, located in Itapeaçu, Brazil. Our partners follow-up with discipleship as well as meeting physical needs when possible. Our mission is to save, strengthen, and send, and we are seeing this vision come to fruition!
