Get to Know the De Lucia Family

Ministry Description

Our ministry in Brazil focus on vulnerable children and their families. Our mission is to evangelize and disciple them as we demonstrate the love of Christ in practical ways by investing deeply in their spiritual, physical and educational needs.

- Vinde Meninos Outreach Center

The Vinde Meninos Ministry has, since 1977, provided assistance and a Christian home for more than 500 abandoned children. Since 2006 the ministry consists of an after school program for vulnerable children. Children who have a home but live in a state of virtual abandonment. At the Vinde Meninos Relief Center we offer support for the needy families in our area in order to meet their physical, educational and spiritual needs. While these children spend the afternoon with us, they get a healthy meal, tutoring, they participate in skill building activities and most importantly, they receive instruction from the Word of God! On special events the parents and relatives are invited to participate with us and we have the opportunity to reach out to the whole family.

- Alcance Camp

The Alcance (Outreach) Camp is a place where kids from Public Schools can participate in overnight camps during the summer or on weekends. This ministry gives us the opportunity to work deep into their lives while providing a lot of fun for the kids as most of these kids in vulnerable situation have never been able to attend camp.
Weekend camps are held through out every year and week long camps are held on summers. All of these kids come on a scholarship basis as they lack resources to pay for it.
As counselors pour unto the campers over the weekend, we have seen many come through Christ and have their lives changed for eternity!

About Roberto

I was born in 1979 in the city of Santos, SP, and my family moved to Atibaia one year later. My parents became involved with WOL Brazil in 1983, and my father was the ministry’s Vice-President for 32 years.
I accepted Jesus as my Savior in 1985 in a family devotional with my parents. Since the age of 12 I have been actively involved in the ministry. In 2002 I received my degree in civil engineering from the University of São Francisco and began using that skill to help WOL with construction and maintenance as well as project designs for their own buildings and work teams.

About Anna

I was born in 1984 in the city of Atibaia. My family and I all accepted Jesus as Savior in 1990. My parents used to own a few clothing stores in Atibaia, and my father became a Pastor in 1996. I have been involved with the church since I was 10 years old, helping in the children’s ministry.

Together: We were married in May 2002. At that time we were both working at WOL. God had already blessed us with our own house. Anna was responsible for organizing all WOL events there in Atibaia, and I was taking care of all the ministry logistics.
In the year of 2004 God began working in our lives and placed in our hearts a desire to do more for missions with WOL and to be more prepared to do it. So, in July 2005, we left all we had in Atibaia and committed a whole year of our lives to study at WOL Bible Institute in New York. At the end of our study year, we went back to Brazil to continue serving the Lord at WOL when we started the Word of Life Outreach Ministries in Brazil.
God has blessed us with two beautiful children: Daniel was born in 2007 and Clara in 2012

Proverbs 22:6 “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”
