One of the most amazing things about ministering in Brazil is the relationship you will cultivate with the interpreters and volunteers who help us every day. Obviously, since most of us do not speak Portuguese, we are completely dependent on our interpreters to communicate with the children, as well as many of the volunteers who show up to help. They may be college students, retired professionals, church members, or simply men and women who heard about what we are doing and God sends them to bless our Team. Every year, our program has grown and God has been faithful to provide exactly what we needed to allow us to effectively minister to these children. Those who cannot speak English, work in the kitchen providing our daily meals, run errands for supplies, play in the band, or help out with instructing the kids throughout the day.
