ADRA International

ADRA Brazil is giving seniors battling addiction a second chance at life. Through the project, seniors over 60 receive safe housing, counseling, and therapy to help them on their journey to sobriety. In partnership with City Hall, this initiative offers comprehensive care, including psychosocial support, group therapy, and vocational activities such as gardening. For individuals like Natanael, this project has been life-changing. After years of struggling with alcoholism, homelessness, and estranged family relationships, Natanael found a new purpose and hope. Thanks to the support he received, he’s working on rebuilding his life, reconnecting with family, and finding fulfillment in activities like gardening. ADRA is dedicated to supporting mental health for individuals of all ages, ensuring healthier communities. Our commitment extends to providing valuable resources, like this past month’s webinar, "Let's Talk Mental Health: How Can I Help My Child?"

Let us pray 🙏 Dear Heavenly Father, We come before You with heavy hearts, lifting the people of the Middle East during this time of conflict. We ask for Your presence to be with all those affected—the families, children, and communities living in fear and uncertainty. Comfort those who are grieving, heal those who are wounded, and protect those who are vulnerable. Surround them with Your love and strength, and may they find hope amid their trials. We also pray for unity. Help us all, as a global community, to stand in solidarity with those suffering. May we be instruments of peace and compassion, extending care and support where needed most. In Your mercy, Lord, bring an end to the violence and let Your peace reign in the hearts of all people. Amen. 💚 Last week, leaders of the Seventh-day Adventist Church at the General Conference (GC) joined ADRA in prayer, for the Middle East. ADRA continues to provide vital assistance to those affected.
