The Solidarity Soup Kitchen is a missionary project that takes place every Friday at 8:40pm in downtown Curitiba, Brazil by brethren from the Seventh-Day Adventist Reform Movement Church.
The project began in the county of Abranches in 2009 when the church leader at the time, Brother Angelo Simba, together with his local church brethren, formed a team to distribute soup and clothing to the homeless in their town.
Some years ago, the brethren in Peru invited me to preach at their biennial youth convention held at that time near the Huascarán National Park. Two-thousand people from all over Peru and neighboring countries were in attendance. Each person had to make personal sacrifices and took great pains to attend this youth convention.
Also pictured are some of the youth who witnessed the baptism of their friends, and the local pastor, Brother Marcos Valerio.

So far we have only received updates from a few of our members in the area stating they are well. We thank God for His Sabbath day, and that many of our brethren were safely at home. We will update this post as more information arrives.
“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things” (Philippians 4:8).
