"The primary need of every child and youth is to be loved. Love extended is always intentional"
-
-Michel & Débora Borchardt

God's heart is not just for the salvation of a person's eternal soul, but for the rescue of children and the afflicted who have no voice and representation. Our heart is to do whatever we can in partnership with others to reach children with the love of God, demonstrated practically through hands of compassion.          

"As we stood on a mountain top in the state of São Paulo, in the middle of preparations for a stadium crusade, the Lord revealed His heart to me and whispered into my inner-being "Preaching is not enough". At that moment I instinctively knew that the Lord wanted us to set apart this property to rescue children and to be "a light on the hill "for all Brazil.
                                                                                                 -Michel Borchardt

"We had no idea what was before us or even how things would progress. All we knew was that our call was to partner with the Brazilian people and to ignite the fires of revival. Our heart was simply to reach as many people as possible with the powerful live-saving message of the Gospel."                                                                                                                     
--Michel and Débora Borchardt


Since then they have preached throughout Brazil and have conducted crusades in venues from outdoor parks to stadiums.  Ministering the power of God's Word of hope and salvation, witnessing tens of thousands of people coming to faith in Jesus. In 2014 the Lord set upon their hearts to begin the process of opening a children's home to reach the many neglected and abandoned Children of Brazil.

Michel and Débora's lives intersected in a supernatural way. From that moment, is was apparent God had a great plan ahead. Débora was born and raised in state of São Paulo, Brazil and Michel grew up in Kansas City, United States. Michel and Débora have been married for over 25 years. They pastored in Kansas City, USA for just over 14 years and have been missionary evangelists in Brazil since 2013. They have 3 daughters (two are married and one is attending College in Kansas) 2 sons-in-law and 2 grandchildren. In 2013 they resigned their pastorate position in Kansas City and in a step of faith, sold everything they had and set out for Brazil as a family with their three teenage daughters.
