Cajueiro Claro is a rural pocket of about 30 families. There is no other program, ministry, or church in that area. When not broken, a bus comes to pick up the children for school. There is a group of six or seven main families that have decided to come together and love this community to Jesus. They consistently and kindly continue to show up, despite many challenges, to have church, to run Living Stones, and to work with others to provide needed services, like medical care, training, and job skills, to the community.
