| Summary: | "In the dark world of the Brazilian streets, children, toddlers and teenagers search trash cans for food, steal knives to protect themselves at night, and live in fear of being beaten or even killed by the police. For these desperately needy children, nothing was free - until they encountered the love of Jesus through the compassion of Jeannette and Johan Lukasse. When this young Dutch couple asked God if He could use them to do something about the immense suffering they saw in the world, He led them on a winding path from their home in the Netherlands to the coast of Greece and eventually to the streets of Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Their calling was clear: millions of orphaned and abandoned children were living and dying on the streets, caught in the deadly grip of drugs, violence, prostitution, and abuse. What followed the Lukasses' step of faith is a stunning example of how God miraculously uses the surrendered lives of believers to transform the lives of others with His hope and healing."--Publisher's website Foreword / Chuck Smith, Jr. -- Foreword / Brother Andrew -- Police brutality -- Turning points -- Does God really want us? -- The call -- In the belly of a fish -- God first -- All our money? -- More than a thousand words -- The oceans in the palm of his hand -- "You need to go and help them" -- Brazil at last! -- Deaf -- New life -- The first street kids -- Dilma's healing -- Worries -- Michele is missing! -- A whole gang gets off the street -- New strategies -- Opposition -- A house with three walls -- Deeper and wider -- Street babies -- A great injustice -- Changing gears -- Epilogue -- Ministries and homes of YWAM, Rescue and Restore, in Belo Horizonte, Brazil -- How you can help -- What leaders are saying about the YWAM Ministry in Belo Horizonte -- Photo section |
