"Share your food with the hungry, and give shelter to the homeless. Give clothes to those who need them, and do not hide from relatives who need your help." Isaiah 58:7
I
don't remember how I found Va Livre on Twitter, but I did. From there I
found their website, housing stories and photos that made me cry.
Stories of orphaned, crack-addicted children struggling to survive on
the streets of Brazil--and in desperate need of Jesus. And stories of
God using a willing family to change lives and further His Kingdom in
the midst of this poverty-stricken environment.
Missionaries
Mark and Lori Procopio of Va Livre left the comforts of home to serve
in Brazil in 2009. They work in orphanages, distribute clothes and
deliver food to hungry street children, teach in schools, and much more,
of course sharing the Gospel in the process.
"I’ll never forget the moment I looked up, blew God a kiss and thanked Him for waking me up. I had plenty of money, a good house, a college education, and a job I loved, but I never really lived until I lived Christ and lived for Christ. Nothing I ever had or bought gave me the pure joy that serving God gave." From Va Livre's website
Va Livre is in need of donations of kids' clothing to be distributed to orphans and street kids:
• boys' gym shorts with elastic waist bands (size 14-16/youth XL works
best)
• kids' T-shirts
• kids' & teen underwear
• flip flops of all
sizes.
Donated
items can be new or gently used. Send an email to HillCitiesMinistries
