EXTENDING THE VISIONwhich began in central Brazil

From it s beginning, th e Brazil Christian Mission has hada vision of ministering to th e whole man. After Starla JoySanders de Azevedo graduated from th e Brasilia ChristianCollege, she became active in social services and philanthropicwork w ith t he Brazil Chris tian Mis si on . Soo n others begancooperatingwi th themission to set up a strong, national self-support ing social service and education work the INTEGRATED LIFE PROJECT. Abigail Mescjuita served a s i ts firstpresident and later, when she became il l and moved back tohe r city of origin, Recife, Starla Jo y became president of th eproject, then later became executive secretary an d coordinator. I t w as at th is t ime that Starla was se t apart as a missionary by th e local Christian church in Brasilia.

THE CHALLENGE WAS GIVEN. . AND ACCEPTED: --

In January 1993, with a new completely Brazilian directory in charge of the INTEGRATED LIFE PROJECT in Brasilia,and after much prayer and discussion, Starla Joy andhe r husband. Luiz Carlos, and their family felt it was the Lord's willfo r them t o move t o the northeas t . . . to Recife . . . to EXTENiiTHE VISION

Since1990, Abigail, in spi te of very UI health, had star ted a workamong the street children in Recife (Association For th e Re storation ofMan) and needed help. Lulz Carlos, Starla and theirfamily drove to Recife in March 1993 and began working withAbigail and Nubia (Abigail's daughter), restructuring and enlarging th e project for more and better service as well as working in th e n ew church. When Abigail passed away in 1994,Starla became pres ident of the Association, with Nubia, a

A local donat ion was r ece ived to reform and f inance th er en t on th e building where th e Association currently serves130 abandoned or very needy children.
