This past February we joined our ministry partner, Justice & Mercy International in Brazil to attend their annual pastors conference. We also spent time in local impoverished villages to see the challenges of people living on the rivers and among the rainforest.
The Amazon experiences a dry and a wet season, with water levels rising as much as 20 to 40 feet. Some homes are built on stilts; others float on tree logs. It was staggering to see the creativity and resilience it takes just to survive here.The need is real. Life is hard. Water is either too scarce—or too much. And yet, the people press on with courage and hope.
At Paradigm Foundation, we’re now exploring how we can come alongside JMI to help meet housing needs in these areas—bringing not just shelter, but dignity and the hope of Christ. Please pray as we work on developing a new home model that can meet the needs of this challenging region. More to come!
