Bazaar Story: Semear

For many kids living in the Brazilian city of Mandelinha, their days are filled with hunger and instability. Families in low-income neighborhoods struggle to secure enough food and fear eviction from their rental homes. To sprout hope for a brighter future, Semear taught sustainable farming and the Bible among these impoverished families. Crop surpluses from vegetable garden clubs allowed families to eat meals and earn money for stable housing from selling the produce. Many new seeds of faith have been planted!

Through Semear’s teaching on agroecology, a sustainable method of local farming benefiting both people and nature, the poor and socially vulnerable can grow and sell fresh produce as well as share excess with others in need.

Pray for the 500 vulnerable children and families of Mandelinha who live in fear of eviction at any time. Pray for them to believe in Christ and experience the Lord’s provision, stability, and protection.
