120 Served So Far, 80 More On The Waitlist

MAD Ministries serves 120 children in Queimadas, Brazil. Eighty more are on the wait list, and they’ll stay there until more sponsors step in. Without consistent support, these kids lose access to daily meals, a safe place after school, and the chance to break a cycle of poverty that’s shaped their families for generations.

Making A Difference,
One Child At A Time

In 2006, a group from a local Boulder County church traveled to Campina Grande, Brazil, and saw a level of need they couldn’t walk away from. That trip became MAD Ministries: a ministry built to walk alongside at risk children, youth, and families in Queimadas, giving them the resources to break the cycle of spiritual, emotional, and physical poverty and become who God created them to be.

As a nonprofit organization, we are intentionally small. Where larger organizations serve millions of children across many countries, we serve one village, and that’s by design. It means 100% of what you give reaches Brazil, our board covers every administrative cost here in the US, and if you live in Colorado, you have direct access to our leadership team. No layers between your gift and a child’s life.
