Jason teaches an English class in Manginhos, one of the poorest favelas in Rio. His main objective is not to teach English but to recruit one of the youth in the community to live in the Sombra Road home. He teaches his English class in a house that is owned by a ministry called Timones (refering to I Timothy). The director, who invited Jason to work with the youth of the favela, allotted almost US $100 per month to do activities with some of the teenagers. This month they took the money and bought basic necessities (rice, beans, oil, sugar, etc.). They delivered the food products to six deserving families. As you can see in the photo, the families all life in a line of wood shacks. Upon delivery, they prayed with the families and read scripture with them. This was a good opportunity for the youth to give back to their community and the gesture fits well with Sombra Road's desire to disciple youth. The lady pictured above is Oliene, the social worker at Timones. Below are some of the youth Jason works with there.
