Missions Brazil
For The Children Brazil
Short Term Mission Trip Opportunity!
October 1-8, 2008
For The Children Brazil, is a non-profit organization founded and guided by Jesus Christ under the stewardship of Alex Piagetti serving as a ministry outreach of Calvary Chapel Miami Beach.
FTC Brazil began as God guided the Piagetti family to serve the poor children of Brazil. Currently this ministry includes a community center co-founded and supported by FTC Brazil which serves these children by providing after school Bible classes and activities to get them out of the streets and give them a hope. These activities include a surf school, arts and crafts, and English classes. To find out more visit the FTC website.
The vision for FTC Brazil is to eventually build a camp where these children can go to and experience their Savior in a real and concrete way. To impact them profoundly with the love and support of qualified counselors, staff and volunteers is what FTC Brazil is praying and working towards. We welcome your interest and participation with FTC Brazil as a supporter or short term missionary. Read the most recent newsletter.
As a possible member of our short-term mission trip team, there are certain things you must be aware of, willing to take part in and able to disclose. Since we work directly with children, there is a mandatory background check. These mission trips involve going into and spending time in the slums of Brazil which can be dangerous since crimes and drug activities are often performed there. The accommodations are basic and not luxury. Since FTC Brazil and YWAM work side by side in the slum, a lot of the work will be serving the full time missionaries there to relieve them and help with their ongoing agendas.
Part of this application is a letter of recommendation from your pastor or church leader where he would prove your attendance for at least 6 months and your serving in at least one area of ministry in your local church. As well as a brief 10-15 minute bible study where children are the audience and the salvation message is presented. This will be refined if indeed called on to present it. A list of basic Portuguese words will be given to you to learn so that basic communication can be achieved between you and the full time missionaries, the children or members of their family. There will also be at least one but maybe more mandatory meetings where details will be discussed and questions will be addressed. The date for this meeting/s is not set in stone due to the possibility that some of you may be travelling from other churches.
Please take this trip into prayerful consideration. It is only God who should direct our steps. These children are depending on our love and testimony of the power of Jesus’ salvation. Our daily attitudes, our unity within the team as well as the desire to sacrificially serve them with humility are what make all the difference in their lives. If you truly feel called to this ministry and have all the requirements needed, FTC Brazil wants to welcome you to be a Catalyst for Christ in the lives of Brazil’s most desperately needy children.
Thank you for your sincere interest in serving with us and may God bless you!
