Xavier is a Brazilian pastor working with street children
through a project called 'Promai'. He and Clenir came to speak
at Rayners
Lane while studying in this country and the church has taken an
interest in their work ever since. Pray for the work of Promai
as they try to get families to adopt the children and pray too
for continued protection from the violence in Rio.
