Travelling around the vast hinterland 'Sertão' region with the multipurpose vehicle, staff and volunteers from the Bible Society of Brazil will reach out from their base in Recife with Bibles and resource materials, alongside medical professionals, who will be providing basic medical and dental services as well as giving talks on health education and the use of medicines.
Rev Dr Rudi Zimmer, Executive Director of the Bible Society of Brazil explained that "due to the size of this area, it is vital that we continue creating partnerships with medical services, local government and other local organisations. We're grateful to have SBS helping with this holistic programme."
