Why, you may ask?
Well, last summer Annika and Alisha went to Recife on a missions internship. They worked with a homeless ministry, youth from several churches; teaching, helping with retreats and building relationships. Needless to say, they fell in love with the people, culture and environment of Brazil. When they left, they felt as though they had just begun to scratch the surface of the opportunities to serve and felt a calling to return.
Enter Kasey. Before the summer, Alisha and Kasey had talked about serving in South America after graduation. With Alisha and Annika's great desire to return to Recife, Kasey became just as excited as they were.
We're preparing to live in Recife to work more with the young people from the Sao Lorenco church and the homeless ministry. We are looking forward to living in community, building relationships, and serving whenever needs arise.
If you would like to help us fund our trip we are selling t-shirts for $13, and other various crafts.
If you're interested please email us.
(Estenda a Sua Mao is Portuguese for 'Reach out your Hand.' We believe these words embody our desire to give of ourselves and walk alongside the people of Recife.)
We love you all!
Alisha, Annika and Kasey
