Covid-19 - Request / Report - April
2020
Greetings from your coworkers to the
Portuguese speaking world,
You may be asking what are they
doing in Brazil during this pandemic?
We are sharing God's love for all
people in every way possible!
We have maintained all church
services, meetings, Bible College via the internet, but we have gone further.
In the last 3 weeks we have helped
over 100 families with basic food and fruit baskets, milk and diapers.
You may remember that on Fridays
the Basic Health Unit of Pirituba uses the church building to serve the
elderly. They measure their pressure, blood sugar level and help them in many
ways. It helps mothers with newborns and at the same time do several tests with
young people to see if they have any sexually transmitted diseases.
We have church members in Pirituba
who work at the Basic Health Unit and they tell us who the families are in need
of, and so we have helped church members and many neighborhood residents.
São Paulo is the city that has more
cases of Covid-19 in Brazil, as of today 8,775 cases and 588 deaths.
The quarantine in São Paulo was
extended to April 22 with the possibility of being extended until May 6.
Now we have many families in need,
as the food they had in their homes when the quarantine started on March 20 is
already running out and most then do not have income, as they work on the
streets selling as freelancers.
The fruits we donate are donated by a
distributor that donates fruits that were not sold in supermarkets.
However, the basic food baskets,
milk and diapers we have to purchase them.
Each basic food basket costs $ 15
USD.
If you can help us buy basic food
baskets, milk and diapers, please send your donation to BROLM.
Keep praying for us, we are healthy
and happy to serve others in the name of the Lord in the midst of this
pandemic.
In the love and service of our KING
JESUS!
Blessings,
Jeff and Monica Fife
