Summary

I’m Anderson. I was born into a family steeped in witchcraft and voodoo in Bahia, Brazil, and grew up hungry and afraidβ€”my father’s alcoholism and neighborhood violence haunted me. By age 17 I was selling cocaine and living with a pistol on my waist to survive. One night, weary of murder and addiction, I met missionaries who proclaimed, β€œJesus loves you.” In that moment on October 15, 2007, I surrendered my life to Christ and felt chains break off my soul. Now I roam the slums of Rio de Janeiro, building bridges with love and sharing the hope of the Gospel with every broken heart I meet. πŸ™βœ¨β€οΈ

Disciples – Anderson and Robson came to know the love and grace of Jesus in the midst of poverty, abuse, and sin. Now transformed, they’ve become beacons of that same love and grace in one of the most notorious favelas in Rio de Janeiro, The City of God.
