Dulce's family was evangelized by Pastor Victor and D. Nayr, teachers at the Bible school in the early years of our work in Brazil. Her mother was the first in their family to accept Christ as her Savior, eventually bringing the whole family (husband and nine children) to church at Lar Parana.
Dulce, along with brothers and sisters, were all able to attend children's camps and youth camps through the years, along with regular church activities. She studied at the Bible school for a year in the 1980's. Dulce now lives in Japan with her husband and two sons where they are active in a Japanese-Brazilian church. Dulce has a passion to teach children about the Lord, has opened her home to many children, and teaches them Bible stories and also takes them on outings. At the 40th celebration, Dulce was considered the Brazilian church's unofficial missionary to Japan.
