Journey Overview
Restoration Ministry: It is a Christian project that works with vulnerable children and adolescents in downtown São Paulo. They currently work in 5 different communities (Favela), where children, teenagers and their families suffer from social vulnerability.
The problems detected are: drug use and trafficking, violence, high crime rate, unemployment and underemployment, family breakdown, high incidence of teenage pregnancy, children's learning difficulties and illiteracy.
The Restoration Ministry offers hope in this sad reality.
In these communities, we reach 700 children and teenagers every week. To reach out to the need of the slum communities and share Jesus as a Savior through our abilities and gifts that God has given us to use.
The participant can decide to stay and work with the ministry from one week to six months, but we need to know and talk about this before he/she comes.
