Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.” (John 7:38)
Brazil has a territorial area of 8,515,767,049 km², while Switzerland has only 41,285 km². Therefore, 206 Switzerlands would fit within our country. Hard to believe, huh?
Get used to the BROLM acronym.
Areas of focus are food baskets and Mozambique.
Enjoy and share!

TOP STORIES
Food Baskets
Using the vehicle for the transportation of food baskets.
We continue to help those in need in the Sao Paulo area. Between the 5 locations that BROLM has churches we are helping 50 families every month with Food Baskets. Brazil is still struggling with the pandemic, there are many without work and the homeless community in Sao Paulo has grown 30% in the last two years.
Mozambique
Before the Cyclone.
After the cyclone.
The north of Mozambique was hit by Cyclone Gombe on Friday night, March 11, 2022.
Mozambique is a country prone to natural disasters. Floods, droughts, tropical storms, cyclones, etc.
Every year, the warm waters of the Indian Ocean during the rainy season heat the atmosphere causing heavy rains accompanied by large winds forming storms, cyclones in the Mozambique channel. These enter the continent felling trees, destroying houses, bridges, roads and infrastructure leaving many homeless and dead. The greatest impact is always on the coast, and can reach
cities and towns in the interior reaching countries that do not have a sea coast.
Two years ago Mozambique was hit by Cyclones Idai and Kenneth, in the central and northern part, in one of the most severe rainy seasons in Mozambique. In January of this year, tropical storm Ana hit Mozambique, Madagascar, Malawi and Zimbabwe, killing about 100 people.
The tropical storm Gombe reached the Mozambican coast in the category of intense cyclone with torrential rains and winds of 165 to 200 km per hour. The epicenter was between the cities of Nacala-Porto and Angoche (where we have churches). Leaving with no power in 20 cities and the first prediction is that more than 300 thousand people have been affected.
We have more than a hundred churches on the coast of Nampula Province (where the cyclone caused the most destruction). Kleber managed to speak with pastors from Tiquila and Cutar. The first information is that the pastoral houses and churches of Nacala-velha and Mossuril completely collapsed (they were made of local material but covered with zinc sheets). The church in the Island that we finished at the end of last year made of cement blocks had only the roofing plates that came loose and flew away, but the house of the leaders was totally destroyed.
In the other cities we still don't have a report because the bridges and roads are damaged, the leaders need to make trips to see how they are.
At Hope School, a classroom and part of the cafeteria had their roofs torn down and some cashew trees felled with the force of the wind. Some damages we need urgently to rebuild, such as coverage of the classroom and cafeteria and shelter for the families of our leaders who lost everything.
“Pain... to see totally destroyed what took years of work to build.” Kleber (Our missionary in Mozambique, Africa).
