Dim lights

Site:

Community of Sao Mateus (click here for  slide show) 45 minutes outside of Anchieta, Espirito Santo. It is one of the mission outreach points of our local partner church in Brazil - FBC Anchieta. Sao Mateus is one of the older communities in the area and is centered in the African culture. The is a strong tradition there of music from the congo - a type of rhythmic music that is sung at the festivals. It is a poor community and most of the folks live and work in that area in agriculture and coffee plantations.

Project:

Building chapels together with sister congregations of various denominations in Brazil who otherwise would not have the means;  working together with people from all racial, religious, ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds;  ministering to the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of both adults and children.
