Lar Feliz Christian shelter for children in Sao Paulo, Brazil

Ongoing and Special Needs

We experience all the challenges you might expect for a very large family. The children usually arrive at Lar Feliz with very little. We provide their food, clothing, school supplies, toys and ensure they receive the care they need from doctors, dentists, psychologists and social workers. There are ongoing expenses for staff and the maintenance of the homes for the children. From time to time we have special projects aimed at improving the opportunities for the children. While we receive financial support from local social agencies and from donations, there is a financial shortfall each month.

Prayer Requests

Please pray for us! Pray for the children that they might know the peace of the Lord in their troubled lives. Pray that God will continue to guide us and provide for us in this ministry. We thank you for sharing in our ministry through your prayers.
