Brazil is a country of extremes. The streets are full of color and diversity while plagued with corruption and inequality. A carnival atmosphere turns to bloodyviolence when you cross unspoken boundaries.


“In the middle of poverty and messy lives is precisely where you’ll find Esdrianne Cohen and her team at WMF Brazil. She and her team work tirelessly to assist, mentor and disciple some of the least of these. We met ladies who shared their stories with tears running down their faces thankful that someone noticed them in their darkest hour. The progress so many of these women have made is remarkable. This slow work of transformation in the name of Jesus isn’t flashy nor easy but it is beautiful.” Andy Baker, Regional Coordinator for South America.
