Meet Lily of the Valleys

Lily of the Valleys is a Bible-based residential drug and alcohol care program in Catanduva, Brazil. The ministry helps teenage girls and women escape the prison of addiction to find freedom in Christ. Lily of the Valleys emphasizes the gospel in treatment programs, believing only an encounter with Jesus can free addicts from spiritual and physical bondage.

Women, young and old, come to the Lily of the Valleys from broken lives filled with addiction, violence, abuse, and sin. While there, they receive counseling and medical care. They also receive spiritual care and are introduced to the love of God in Christ, their worth as ones created in His image, and the freedom only found in the gospel.

Upon arrival at Lily of the Valleys, each woman is gifted a personal Bible for Bible studies and group discussions. As a graduation gift, each program graduate is given a new dress and shoes. For many of these women, this is their first new dress, and it provides a professional outfit for job interviews.

In addition to helping women and girls escape the prison of addiction to find freedom in Christ, Lily of the Valleys hosts lectures, provides skills training, and distributes food and clothes to minimize pain and preserve the family. This is done while bringing the gospel message of love and hope.

For the past 40 years, women who have graduated from Lily of the Valleys have shared testimonies of how the Lord has met them in their brokenness, changed their hearts and desires, helped them repent of sin, and satisfied them in Christ alone.
