Ana Maria Saavedra will be serving with restoration Ministries where she will spend most of her time with under-resourced kids living in harsh conditions/situations in São Paulo, Brazil.
“I will be serving at Restoration Ministries where I will spend most of my time with under-resourced kids living in harsh circumstances/situations teaching them English and providing quality education to help get them out of the slums or favelas. I want to invite you on this journey with me to further the Lord’s kingdom and spread the love of Christ to these families that I will be serving. Through this experience, I know that it is not me being a blessing to the children but the children being a blessing to me, I have seen time and time again how many children living in extreme poverty carry such immense joy within themselves and it is truly so beautiful. God has shown me and will continue to show me that our lives are defined by how we respond to adversity. We can either pity ourselves and keep our heads down and look at our hands or look up and see Jesus and His hands and realize that the battle has already been won, we just need to trust and keep our heads up knowing that joy is to come (Romans 8:18).”
Proverbs 11:25-26 “The one who blesses others is abundantly blessed; those who help others are helped.”
