About This Project

The Amazon, Brazil is a beautiful place with rivers and wildlife that many tourists come to see.  However, hidden along the riversides is also a dark, harsh reality of child exploitation, abuse and abandonment.  

For that reason, we are reaching out to some of the darkest places in the Amazon to bring the love and transformation of Christ.

We are currently serving with an organization called Life Impact International, whose model is PREVENT, RESCUE HEAL.  We help run prevention projects for vulnerable kids, which include Safe Touch talks, self-care classes, sports classes, arts and culinary classes, and more! 

We are also pioneering the first Safe Home of its kind in the region, for exploited, abused and abandoned children.  They will receive care, attention, trauma counseling, warm meals, and the necessary help for a better future!

The Amazon is currently one of the worst regions in the world for child pregnancy, prostitution and exploitation. But we believe this can change! 

As a couple, we are committed to discipling families, teaching and training them, so their mentality can change.  We work to see families restored, parents investing in their kids instead of neglecting them, and raising them up to be leaders in their own community.  We have recently started a church plant in the riverside town we moved to!  Pray with us for God’s light to invade this region!

Your giving will help us to serve full-time in this mission, and make a difference in hundreds of kids lives in the Amazon!
