Please do not send funds in any form to Brazil. State/Province What We Do Located in the southern Brazil city of Campo Bom since 1994, Chain of Love provides loving, secure, and caring homes for abandoned and abused children and adolescents. We meet their physical, spiritual, and social needs until they are mature enough to function independently. Every resource invested in this important ministry benefits them, be it something as simple as gas for the church bus or lights in the gym for after-school soccer. Being “home” for nearly ninety young people not only comes with a lot of responsibility, but a significant price tag. Name City E-mail Address Today, if you met Gabriela and Kateana, you’d never guess their background. These excitable, intelligent, happy teenagers enjoy life at Chain of Love Homes. It’s no surprise… they flourish on everything we offer: education, healthcare, counseling, spiritual growth opportunities, a mother and father figure, and a happy houseful of siblings. Address Home Church Excitable, Intelligent, and Happy This is Gabriela and Kateana, two very special young ladies who are part of the Chain of Love ministry. Theirs was a rough start… their parents died when they were young. When we welcomed them three years ago they had little education, were malnourished, and tended to be very quiet.
