Street Kids

This week, our speaker is talking about street children. He leads the Youth With A Mission base in Recife, Brazil and has been there for 20 years working with street kids. In Brazil, there is an estimated 7-8 million street kids out of a populations of 160-170 million. That's such a crazy amount! But, I absolutely love what the YWAM bases in Brazil are doing for street kids. It's so awesome the ministry that is coming out of there. They work to prevent children from having to go to the streets, as well as have houses to help restore kids that are coming off of the streets. In Belo Horizonte, they have homes that teach the kids different trades that could be useful in finding jobs and staying off the streets. If you'd like the check out the work they are doing, here are the links:
