Feeding Children and the Elderly
Each of our church plants among the desperately poor in southern Brazil are caring for their community in various ways depending upon the needs of the people. One thing they all have in common is the feeding ministries they provide. Each year we provide over $24,000 to assist the churches in meeting the needs of the hungry among them. While most of the funds currently come from Living Bread all of the work of the ministry is done by the pastors and lay leaders of the church plants.

They provide food baskets for families. They do not meet all of the needs, but they provide enough to keep the people from eating from the garbage to survive. They also provide fellowship meals at the churches and breakfast before Sunday school. In addition, they deliver food to the elderly and handicapped members of the churches and community. Finally, they try and keep a pantry of food available to meet emergency needs that arise.
This partnership between Living Bread and our church plants is making a great impact among the poor and needy in southern Brazil. Lives are being changed as the church is faithful to its mission of witnessing to the gospel of the kingdom of God in both word and deed. To date we have been funding these ministries from our general budget, but need to find sponsors to continue this important work.
Will you consider giving at least $20 per month or making a special investment of $240 to help our church plants continue to care for the poor and needy in southern Brazil?
