New Open Arms Project in Assis!
“Many, LORD my God, are the wonders you have done, the things you planned for us. None can compare with you; were I to speak and tell of your deeds, they would be too many to declare.“
Psalm 40:5

On November 7th we inaugurated our newest Open Arms project in a neighborhood in Assis, Brazil (where Open Arms began) called, “University Park.” This new project marks a major milestone for Open Arms. We now have at least one outreach in every at-risk neighborhood in this city of roughly 90,000 souls! Opening day was one of blessings and joyful moments with the children who came. God is so very good! Please pray for our new volunteer program coordinator, Ricardo, that God would grant him wisdom and deep love as he directs this work and his team seeks to demonstrate Christ’s love to the children of this community.
The sacrificial gifts of our donors is integral to keeping people like Valdinei and Ricardo in the lives of children who need godly role models and champions who will fight for them in Jesus’ name. The growth of Open Arms in places like Assis, São Paulo is a direct result of the generous gifts of people like you and we thank God for their participation with us in this ministry.
