Lagoa de Itaenga is a small community with a huge gang problem that has made it one of the most violent cities in the state of Pernambuco.
The church is perfectly located to reach out and make a difference. Right down the street is a children's home for displaced/troubled children. Soup is distributed a couple times a week, making sure immediate nutritional needs are met.
Our literacy program is going well.
Even caught the boys reading Snow White.
