Brazil Trip (Sao Luis & Maranhao)

Focus: Evangelism, prayer walking, chronological Bible storying, recreation/youth activities
The team will work with Houston's First’s Missionary Keith Jefferson where he and his wife have been IMB missionaries in Brazil for many years. They are very passionate servants giving their lives away to the African slave descendant groups scattered all throughout Brazil. They have recently moved up to northern Brazil where there are over 600 villages of un-reached “Quilombolas”. They live in villages with houses made out of mud. We will work in 3 of these “Quilombolas” during our time in Brazil. Our team will be involved in door-to-door evangelism, prayer walking, chronological Bible storying, hygiene classes, skits, crafts, and recreation activities for the kids. We will close the trip with an R&R day at the beach.
