A look at the leaders and work supported by Evangelical Friends Church -Eastern Region

LIVING STONESLiving Stones is a community outreach program that serves at-risk and street children. Evangelical Friends church plants and existing churches partner with the ministry to start an outreach in a community. Many children in northeast Brazil are unable to attend school due to economic circumstances, and those who do attend public school often receive a poor education.

Living Stones provides the following aid for needy children: ● education in academic areas & life skills ● nutrition ● hygiene ● character education

Most importantly, the children are

introduced to the Gospel of Christ.
