They will experience the outreach of local churches to street kids and others in need.

Here they will join WMPL workers Nick & Shannon Kraft and Paul & Jay Mikaelsen in the ministry of Radio/Television Caranavi.
Ken Olson (team leader), Dane Christenson, Erin Langager, Clayton Olafson & Lynne Zasadny of Team Brazil will fly to Sao Paulo and on to Curitiba in the state of Parana.

Their trip home will include a visit to the spectacular Iguazu Falls on the Brazil/Paraguay border.
