Help for Friends

Almost two years ago Dan visited our friends in Brazil at their ministry called CBC – Channel to Brazil for Christ. He was there for a special day when the children enrolled in the education programs reached out to the other children in their neighborhood with free salon-style hair cuts, manicures, a lunch, and some games.

It was truly an example of the gospel at work. This girl was one of the guests that day:

I just recieved word that this season Brazil has experienced the worst flooding of 20 years, and our beloved ministry was not immune to the country’s troubles. Classroom ceilings have collapsed and others are under water. The teachers and students have tried to carry on, but the damage is extensive.

The University for Life program at CBC provides an important service of hope to the poorest of Brazil’s children. Since the public school only holds classes for half a day (due to over-crowding and teacher shortages), the University for Life program enrolls students for the other half of their day for fine arts classes, computer classes, and tutoring. It is a fantastic program.

And they could use our help. Check out their website. If you have anything to offer, it would be put to good use by good people for great kids. Thanks!

This song from the CompassionArt project rings in my head ALL THE TIME. In light of this post, I thought I’d share with you all!
