Pieces of Paradise does not operate Casa Cruzeiro; we share a relationship of encouragement and prayer.
Led by Luiz Duarte and the local team, the ministry combines everyday hospitality with Bible study, worship, mentoring, and practical educational support.
What happens at Casa Cruzeiro
Open house: Monday to Friday afternoons, children from the community come to play — often their first contact with the house.
Discipleship: almost daily conversations, Bible studies and outings that help young people discover Jesus and choose a new direction.
Alpha courses: a simple, interactive introduction to the gospel; a new course for teenagers is planned.
Educational annex: academic support for children in under-resourced schools, with a curriculum rooted in the stories of faith.
Community: monthly visitors share testimonies, alongside regular worship and prayer.
Alpha & Discipleship
Open House
Educational Support
Alpha courses, Bible study, worship, prayer, and everyday conversation help young people explore the gospel and grow in faith.
Casa Cruzeiro opens during weekday afternoons for play and games, creating a welcoming first point of connection with children and young people.
The educational annex provides academic support alongside a faith-based curriculum for children who need additional encouragement and a healthy learning environment.
How you can pray
For young people to understand God's love and choose to walk with Him.
For more of the Holy Spirit in the home, the gatherings and the work.
For the school to care for children well and reach more families.
