Marine Reach Brazil
The Marine Reach Brazil or Amazon Reach Project is part of Marine Reach
Ministries International; a ministry of Youth With A Mission (YWAM) which has
for many years been serving the poor and needy around the world through
practical expressions of love and compassion.
the same way the Amazon Reach project wishes to enrich the lives of
those who live in poverty, isolation and without hope in the Amazon area,
giving them opportunities to improve their own lives. Thousands of people are
living alongside and depend on the enormous Amazon River and South American
rain forest for their living. Many survive in utter poverty, lacking services
such as health care, educational, social and spiritual welfare. The Amazon
Reach project, in conjunction with YWAM Brazil aims to address these needs by
providing a vessel with a well-equipped medical/relief unit onboard. This unit,
along with the international medical volunteers we will recruit, will provide
full dental services, test and provide suitable glasses and carry out surgical
procedures on eyes, such as cataract removal, correcting squints etc… In
addition the vessels will provide a mobile base for initiating primary health
care and educational programs. The project staff will promote community
development programs that are also ecologically sound in order to help the
Amazon people improve their own quality of life.
In addition, the example and teachings of Jesus Christ will be taught,
as we believe that this will help to transform the communities along the Amazon
River for the better. All these services will be provided free of charge to the
recipients and conversion to Christianity will not be a prerequisite.
