About JEAME

Ministério JEAME conducts evangelistic services in 13 juvenile detention centers in São Paulo, Brazil, reaching 1,000 teenagers each week. JEAME is located blocks from a drug-infested area of São Paulo named Cracolândia. JEAME conducts regular street evangelism and prayer walks through the neighborhood. Follow-ups from these efforts include Christian discipleship and vocational training.
In 2021, JEAME opened a community center to minister to teens released from prison. The center allows JEAME to support teens in new ways. JEAME provides a barber training program where newly released teens can learn job skills. As the ministry continues to grow, JEAME hopes to launch a professional bakery course for teenagers at Centro Rio Tâmisa. These new job skill programs impact the lives of teens by providing a source of income, community connection, and an encounter with God.
