(soun POW-loo) – In the center of the city of Sao Paulo is a neighborhood known as Cracolandia, which is marked by high crime rates and widespread drug addiction. In the midst of this brokenness, God is at work. Cristolandia, a Brazilian Baptist ministry, faithfully serves those who are lost and suffering from addiction. They offer not only practical care and compassion, but also the hope and light of the gospel. Please pray for the continued work of this ministry, and pray that local churches and volunteer teams will have opportunities to partner with them as God brings restoration and new life.
