Project Life is a social-action program with a goal of reaching youth and their families for Christ through soccer, the national sport of Brazil. The nucleus is located in Aparecida de Goiania, about eleven miles outside the Great Goiania in the suburb of Villa Romana.
The purpose of this work is to tell the children of the love of Christ who died for them, to give them Christian principles, to teach them respect for authorities, to speak against violence, and to provide an example of life for their families, helping them to become useful citizens, relieving the country of a grave social problem.
Project Life is maintained through donations of volunteers, together with members of our churches.
Magno works full time sharing devotional times, prayer periods and practices. He also does much of the maintenance of the property.
Project Life depends on donations of uniforms and educational materials. Land has been purchased for a soccer field where the boys can train for their games and be able to receive more Biblical instruction with Christian leaders in a Christian atmosphere.
The goal of 2009 is to begin the construction of classrooms wherein children five through eight years old can come for instruction in reading and help with their homework. This year's theme for the reading program will be "Invest in a book to build a better future." Every book donated or purchased will be used to further the education of a young Brazilian boy or girl.
Mat. 25:35-36, 39-40 - "For I was hungry and you gave me to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was in prison and you came to visit me....the King will reply, "I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me." |
