The residents of Manaus are known as having big hearts open to each other, and in my experience that was the rule rather than the exception.
The very first trip for Youth Missions International was to Ukraine. A team that included the co-founders of the ministry headed to work with our close ministry partners, Awana Ukraine. Trips to Cherkasy, Odesa, and Kyiv strengthened this partnership and created multiple opportunities for engagement. Throughout the years we have had the privilege of knowing and serving alongside this amazing team.
