Dear Mission Supporter,
Let me introduce you to my buddy Gabriel,
a resid ent of Holy Trinity Institute in Moreira, Brazil. He is eight
years old and has been living at the Orphanage for three years. He is
the youngest of five children, three of which live in Moreira. When I
met Gabriel, he was a shy, scared, malnourished, neglected little boy.
His parents were in prison for drug abuse. They remain there today.
The simplest description of Gabriel? He was HUNGRY!
Thank God Gabriel was fed at Holy Trinity- fed physically to provide no urishment. Most importantly Gabriel was given the Love of Jesus. His spirit was fed!
Sponsor parents from many places in the world offered their daily
prayers for Gabriel and his family. The bounty of God's grace filled
the emptiness of a broken home and a corrupt society. The staff of the
Orphanage, under the pastoral leadership of Tealmo Percheron, spoke of
God's love for Gabriel and modeled it in their relationship with him. This photo was taken this summer of Gabriel with my wife Pat and me. Today he is a robust, affectionate, happy child.
The children come to the Holy Trinity Institute hungry for love, security, and physical support. They grow as Gabriel has, but it does not happen in just a day. It is an ongoing process. They need your help.
