world NEWS Celebrating Pavement Project
Last June, Pavement Project marked 20 years of reaching vulnerable children. The celebrations had to be curtailed and reshaped due to the global pandemic, but that didn’t stop the team and its supporters marking this major milestone. On 20 June, an online service was held to give thanks to God. “We were able, even from a distance, to celebrate together what God has done for Pavement Project,” says Juliana Gonçalves, from the Pavement Project team in Brazil. The Lifewords Brazil team hosted the party, with trainers, workers and children from various countries participating. “We had children praying from Colombia, Tanzania, India, Zimbabwe and Uganda,” says Juliana. “And we heard testimonies from Pavement Project workers, such as Olivia, from Cape Verde, who was counselled as a child and is now a missionary; and the story of Dixon, a worker from Kenya who was impacted by the green bag as a young adult.” “Even in a difficult time like the one we are living in, we remember the many good things from these last 20 years,” says Juliana. “Each volunteer, each strategic partnership; the workers and trainers; our donors; and, each one of the 75,000 counselling sessions.” Follow us on Facebook for upcoming stories of transformation, photos, and memories from the last 20 years. lifewordsUK
