In the dark world of the Brazilian
streets, children, toddlers and
teenagers search trash cans for food,
steal knives to protect themselves at
night, and live in fear of being beaten
or even killed by the police. For these
desperately needy children, nothing was
free - until they encountered the love
of Jesus through the compassion of
Jeannette and Johan Lukasse.
When this young Dutch couple asked God
if He could use them to do something
about the immense suffering they saw in
the world, He led them on a winding path
from their home in the Netherlands to
the coast of Greece and eventually to
the streets of Belo Horizonte, Brazil.
Their calling was clear: millions of
orphaned and abandoned children were
living and dying on the streets, caught
in the deadly grip of drugs, violence,
prostitution, and abuse.
What followed the Lukasses' step of
faith is a stunning example of how God
miraculously uses the surrendered lives
of believers to transform the lives of
others with His hope and healing.
