Brazil: community and a new start

27 March 2025

We give thanks with mission partners Marcio Ciechanovicz and Noemi Celeti for Jana, a single mum who recently connected with Marcio and Noemi and the DuPark project in Indaiatuba, São Paulo. Through the project, Marcio and Noemi take church to people in the local park and share the gospel in new ways. Jana was out of work, had just moved to Indaiatuba and didn’t know anybody in the area. Praise God that she felt at home at DuPark events and found help to make new friends and restart her life in this new place.
