As of 2010, Brazil had a population of over 195 million people. Although 91% of its people consider themselves Christian, "non-religion" is the fastest growing faith group and witchcraft is growing. Most of these Christians have a disregard for discipleship, due to prosperity theology and a lack of leadership models, appropriate training, and unity. The poor population is rising exponentially and the Christian population decreasing in sincerity. There is a sever lack of ministry directed towards children in Brazil: there are 7 million child laborers, 600,000 girls involved in prostitution, and at least 2,000 murders each year due to drug abuse, gang  violence, and prostitution.

Uires S. (left) is a very powerful woman who has thousands of students and teachers who look to her for spiritual guidance and training in Brazil. For many years , she has conducted weekly  Bible classes in the public schools. A  very gifted communicator, she is highly respected and sought after by many  schools who have seen many troubled lives changed by her presence and ministry  in the schools. She has hosted visiting teams and facilitated many assemblies and classes where the Gospel was presented, literature distributed and teachers and students alike respond. Pray for this dear servant of the Lord and her special ministry.
