From a small village in Ecuador, Joe Brandi shares a vision for a new outreach through Unity 4 Orphans to bring programs for healing and change to poor children.
After his annual summer visit to our program in Nicaragua, Joe traveled on to Ecuador to meet with contacts and develop a vision for the future of U4O’s programs in Latin America. It has been on our hearts as an organization to reach even more children living in poverty, and Joe’s visit was the first step.
Extending Holistic Support to Vulnerable Communities in Latin America
Standing on muddy streets in a typical Ecuadorian village, Joe gives a glimpse of the lifestyle of its residents. He calls it rustic and simple, yet beautiful, and says the people are calm. In this place, most children have limited access to education, with no vision for them to attend college.
Jesus ministered to places like this, bringing hope, love, and light to small, semi-forgotten locations and populations. Reaching people, especially children, is a God-given vision to bring opportunities for learning English, receiving an education, and even extending the option of college to help the kids break the cycle of poverty.
We want to create a God vision for them to have a future that’s different from the one they already have.
