UP DATE !
Euroclass 2020 cancelling of arrival !
Year 2020, we had to cancel the visit of the Euroclass team, even though, they had plans to be in Para and Amapa in the end of April and in May. The Pandemic state worldwide did make it impossible for them to be in Brazil on their outreach! Of course it was not easy for teachers and students, as they had been planning for months for the trip to Brazil, and trained dramas and presentations.
But do pray for the EUROCLASS as they plan to start up with new students in August again, and as they are seeking God for guidelines for the new school year.

An outstretched hand to the local community !
Here in Brazil, also in Ceara, we do have poor public health System, little social security, because of much violence, and a changing unstable economy, and many political tensions, so the spread of the virus has caused much fear, and panic too, and it has been difficult for a large percentage of the population, and we need to encourage one another to have hope and faith for the future, and we need to ask for capacity to be flexible in needed ways.
Contributions to the work are always welcome ! Your prayers are also much apreciated !
Do take contact, if you are interested in going on a mission trip short term to the North Amazon Region with us - we are going several times a year. If you are interested in being a volunteer in the work in Patacas, Aquiraz with the mothers and children, also to do housevisits.
