20-Somethings Living Alternatively

Por Luis F. Batista

14 de abril de 2008

We accepted a call made by Mustard Seed Network to send examples of 20-somethings living alternatively, so we shared with them the story below:

Our names are Kelly and Marcelo, both of us are 28 years old and we have been married for 18 months. Currently we work with children at a squater building downtown São Paulo, Brazil, near a region called "Crackland". Once a week we gather to share stories, play games and have fun with the kids. We try by all means to share God's love to that community and it is awesome how we ourselves have been blessed during the times we are there. Each smile, each hug, each gesture makes us one before the Father. We know that we are not able to change these kids' present situation. Unfortunately, social inequality in our country drives dozens of families to streets every week. But our heart are lit with fire as we share the love of God and help in any way to those kids formation through Christian principles that we try to share even if the results will be noticed only in the future.

We hope to share more stories soon!

Thank you for sharing about the service that you're doing in
"Crackland". It makes me think of some of the interactions that we have
here in Los Angeles, California, with the families and individuals that are
homeless. It reminds me that God is bigger than all distance among borders, he
surpasses differences in cultures, and he is greater than the obstacles that are
before us. Thank you and I will pray for you and the commitment that you have to
the children in that community.
