Paul and Jill van Opstal are one of the missionaries that Mt.
Olivet UM Church supports. Paul and Jill van Opstal moved to
Brazil after working as missionaries
in Amsterdam for almost
9 years. God called them to Brazil to work with children. They
went to Brazil on November 13th, 1998. On July 6th, 2000 they
opened a boy's home called "Happy Home." The vision
of this project is to house children who are in problem situations
which could include things such as abuse, abandonment, homelessness,
authority problems, rebellion and such. One of their goals is
to teach these children that they are wanted and that God does
have a plan for their lives. This is a Christian project with
it's entire vision based solely on the Word of God.
