Preparing for Mother's Day

May is just around the corner, and we are excited about the different outreaches to our very important Mothers of Living Stones children. Join with us to celebrate them:

Generosity from the International School

The International School of Carpina is a wonderful, top quality, bilingual school that serves as a ministry and outreach in the community. Many of the future leaders of Northeast Brazil attend this school. They recently had a campaign to bring in chocolate eggs to be given to the Living Stones children--and even the leadership was overwhelmed at the great response of the children--180 eggs! Not only were we excited to receive so many eggs, but we are blessed by what God is doing and moving in these children's lives.

The egg campaign began slowly, but one of the quieter students, Lucas, brought in ten eggs one day. The other kids saw, and were inspired to bring in more themselves. Seventeen of the children from the International school were able to serve at the Easter party in Cajueiro Claro, seeing for themselves the fruit of generosity, and what it means to help those less fortunate than themselves.

Thank you to the children from the USA who also gave to make sure these celebrations happened!
*Note: the painted rocks in the video are the "eggs" that we hid for the Easter Egg hunt!

Soup Ministry Closed

It is with a heavy heart that we share that the soup ministry has been closed. Due to financial difficulty, the local restaurant, who has been giving soup daily for four years now, has had to stop.

Serving over 1000 meals a month in 8 communities, this was a meaningful and vital ministry, especially in rural areas. Please pray for other options and solutions to be found for those still ministering in these communities. We thank the Lord for the four years this ministry was able to serve!
