Hello friends!

 We are Gustavo and Sandra from Brazil; we work with the YWAM Mission in the field of counseling. We have been running counseling schools called Foundation for Counseling Ministry and also Addictive Behavior Counseling School. We are also involved with the local church where we live providing counseling and also supporting rehabilitation centers with teaching about addiction recovery models.

1 - Foundations for Counseling Ministry School (FCM)

 Is a first level counseling course to learn the basic skills of active listening, belief systems, hearing the voice of God. We see the connection of how beliefs impact our behaviors. We look at the roots of rejection and rebellion (Plumbline), family systems, attachment and bonding through developmental stages, trauma, human sexuality, and a variety of other counseling topics.

2-Addictive Behavior Counseling School (ABC).

The vision of the Addictive Behavior Ministry International is multi-fold: To bring freedom to individuals and families caught in the bondage of addiction. To equip and motivate people from many cultures to work alongside existing ministries. To establish various addiction ministries.

It is a response to the appeal of Christ for people from all cultures to embrace the work of the cross and as broken vessels being restored, offer good news and hope to others.

The reason we are involved in the ministry of counseling is because we understand the importance of caring for our missionaries. Running this course, we offer to the students a time of refreshment and renovation for their strength so that they can continue to fulfill their calling. The mission field is a big challenge and many struggles come in our way; people can really get hurt but our heavenly Father will never give up on us, He always will be there with us and for us. We value people for who they are, investing in people's lives has a very high priority to us. We know the value of our missionaries who are people worthy of being cared for and loved and we make ourselves available so that through us the love and care of the Father may be revealed to them.

We would love to ask for you to partner with us through financial support and prayer! Your support means a lot  to us!

Our monthly financial need to cover our expenses with housing, food, healthcare, transport, ministry and international travel is around 2 thousand dollars.

If you’d like to commit to being a monthly supporter, or giving a one-time donation, please pray about an amount and you can give here! 

Thank you 

May God bless you richly!

Gustavo & Sandra
