In
2002, God gave Pastor Solid Rock Church vision of
Solid Rock Ministries working with the children
of Brazil. Since then, God has given us 3 homes
(Casa Verde and Casa Butanta) with more than 50
children.
We are currently in the city of Sao Paulo. There
are approximately 17 million people here. We provide
a safe and healthy environment, off the dangerous
streets. We teach and train the children in the
Bible. We enroll them into school and teach them
reading and writing.
The country of Brazil covers nearly 1/2 of South
America. It is the 5th largest country in the world.
Brazil is South America's leading economic power
and is a regional leader in the world today. The
Amazon, which flows through northern Brazil, is
the mightiest river on the planet.
As for the darker side of Brazil: about 8 million
children live in the streets throughout Brazil.
3.5 million Brazilian children work, many involved
in violent crime or prostitution. 1,000 children
die per day because of hunger and malnutrition.
From 1996 to 1999, over 3000 kids were murdered
in Rio de Janerio alone, most by death squads or
the police.
