Welcome To Alpha Omega

Odali, a native Brazilian, has been a pastor in Garca for over fifteen years, leading the Central Baptist Church of Garca. This church has planted 10 other mission churches in the surrounding area. A board of advisors serve to oversee the operations of Alpha Omega.  His wife has also lived in Brazil her entire life (the daughter of a faithful missionary couple).

          Several years ago their eyes were opened to the need that surrounded them when their son asked if a friend could share his lunch. They learned that this boy was living on the streets and had no where to go, no home to return to, no family to love him. What began that day as they took this small boy into their home has grown and expanded to a ministry that now touches the lives of dozens of children each and every day. It is impossible to define how many lives have been changed because of the faithfulness and obedience of this couple, nor is it possible to define the many ways God continues to use this ministry.

Alpha Omega exists for the purpose of reaching out and helping those that are nearest and dearest to the heart of God--children. At the home, children are accepted from government agencies as well as personal referrals. Each child receives food, shelter, clothing, and a new beginning. The home is sectioned off into five hallways, each hall having a set of hall parents and no more than twenty children.

          In addition to meeting their basic needs, training in life skills is also provided. The facility incorporates a machine shop, carpentry shop, and farm into their over-all program. The children are also required to attend church services, and devotions are held either in each hall or corporately.

          The purpose of this method is to instill in each child a sense of belonging to a family, while developing discipline, respect, and a sense of self-worth with Christ and His love as the basis.
