Shores of Grace Ministries

My experience with Shores of Grace was nothing but amazing, from the way they serve and minister to those in the city square to the sweet young women they help create a better life in Casa Betania. I was continually in awe how every program operated to improve and educate those in need, for example the cafe they have created also helps these women acquire the necessary skills to operate in the work force and quality is not spared. Never in my time in ministry have I ever encountered an organization that is so intentional and integral.

Shores of Grace has been pouring themselves out in individual lives, community efforts as well as legally representing victims and actively getting perpetrators of human trafficking off the streets of Recife, Brazil for over a decade. Through providing jobs at their cafe, offering housing to children and women rescued from trafficking, to advocating for political change, Shores of Grace is making a real and lasting difference. Beyond this they train others to go to their community and do the same exponentially expanding these life changing efforts.

It might seem small compared to other things but this ministry just showed me what it means to care for the most vulnerable. They showed me how to have the heart of God for broken people and how that actually plays out into actions, not just words.

I had the privilege of visiting them in Recife, Brazil and was seriously impacted by their work. What they do in the fight against human trafficking is incredible. This is a ministry that is making a real difference in the world.

Amazing group fighting for our sex trafficked children and women, Rescuing and helping to redirect them into society with an entirely new perspective of identity.

I spent three months with Shores of Grace in Recife, Brazil, and I am soon heading back to continue my work with them. They fill a role in Brazil that few others do, and the work they do saves and restores lives. They are rescuing kids out of homelessness, abuse, and prostitution. In Brazil, the number of kids stuck in this plight is hard to take in. You can go to Recife and see it for yourself: more homeless kids on one corner than all those you have ever seen in any other place, at any other time, combined. Many have been abused or raped or prostituted, and many of themselves are keeping themselves in a constant high with a bottle of industrial strength glue, to numb the pain in their hearts. Shores of Grace is one of the few ministries working actively in Recife and in all of Brazil to rescue these kids. The first rescue home is open and is already full, with 10 girls whose lives have been saved from a bleak future and given new hope. Everyone here has a huge heart and goes above the call of duty to see lives saved and restored.

We visited Shores of Grace in late June this year (2013) and saw first hand the love their team pours out onto children caught in sex trafficking or abuse, prostitutes and homeless on the streets of Recife, Brazil. Two weeks after we returned to the USA they opened their first rescue home for girls. It was full in 2 weeks! The need is great and they meet it with open arms, much love, safety and provision for these precious ones ranging in age from 5 to 15. Everyone on the Shores of Grace team has a huge heart. Children of the team are just as involved in helping to bring love to these precious girls. They hope to open a home for boys caught in this awful web of sex trafficking.

Shores of Grace continues to do amazing work - beyond any human capability without the grace and blessings of God! I've known Nic and Luke since they were young and to see their growth, transformation, and love of God that they share with others is amazing. They have both dedicated their lives, moved their families to Brazil and reach out to those in need every single day. May God continue to bless this ministry so that they can continue blessing others.

They do the work we all should, helping disadvantaged children and poor people who have lost their hope due to no fault of their own. If you are able to finance this work and you are reading this please help them to continue their work. If they didn't do it nobody would. If you are reading this Bill Gates then this is the type of work your charity should help. Its honest selfless work that helps support poor disadvantaged people.

We are so blessed by this ministry. This minsirty was started by Nic, Rachael, Luke, and Alison Billman. We currently are apart of their record label, Shores Music. This ministry goes into the poorest parts of Brazil, rescuing the families involved in the trafficking industry. They move from the deepest parts of the Father's heart, and step out of the comforts of the america to do so. They see Jesus in the eyes of the prostitute. I'm blessed to know them, and be apart of the Shores Family. If you're looking to invest into something greater and more meaningful, please donate to this ministry. www.shoresofgrace.com

The first time I heard of the work of Shores of Grace, I was captivated. The Billmans and those who work with them are reaching vulnerable people whom are ignored by much of society. They have brought the issue of sex-trafficking to the attention of many. More than raising awareness, the personal involvement that they have in the individual lives of hurting, marginalized people makes their ministry stand apart. The Bethany Project is key in doing this work of mercy! Join me in supporting this ministry!

The work being done by Shores of Grace Ministries illustrates the core of the Christian gospel: Showing God's unconditional love for the most desperate and un-loved of Brazil's society by teaching them how to love themselves and learn of God's love for them. Our personal friendship with the Billman family has shown us their compassionate, loving spirits and their desire to reach out to those in need. We wholeheartedly support them and the wonderful work they are doing.

Rescuers with hearts of gold reaching out and touching precious hearts that have been thrown away, unearthing and displaying the priceless beauty within.

Nic and Rachel Billman understand the heart of God, and His amazing love for His people. I love listening to their worship music and just knowing that they are in Brazil ministering to men and women who need to know how much that Jesus loves them!! They help those who have been deeply wounded by the world to see their place as God's children. I love what they do!!!

I highly recommend Shores of Grace Ministries. What they are doing in Brazil and what they want to accomplish is amazing. They regularly send out newsletters with pictures of the lives they are touching. They have visited our church (we pastor a church in Maryland) many times and each times the lives of our congregation our touched and changed.

They are wonderful people. I was blessed by their ministry and their prayers for me and my family.

Our family has been touched by the Billmans and their worship. We are worship leaders too and hunger to have more of this intimate worship corporately. You can tell they have such a close relationship with God by their songs to the Lord and the strong presence of God with that worship. That presence of God changes atmospheres and lives. That's what this world needs is more of God's presence! To pick up and follow God to a new country with children, and to serve on the "front lines" as they do takes hearing and obeying God and that shows their integrity and true hearts to honor and serve Him. We know they will touch and change lives where ever God takes them because His Presence goes with them!

I have known Luke and Nic Billman all their lives. I have watched them grow from babies to adulthood, attended their weddings, rejoiced as their own families grew along with their faith. How God is moving in their lives in truly amazing. Their ministry in Brazil has had such an impact on the lives of those they are helping. To teach these lost ones about Jesus who loves them, to open their arms to them and help them to find a better way is truly a gift from God. May their lives continue to be blessed so they can continue to be a blessing. Nancy T.

My husband and I have a house church in Maryland and are so very honored to know the Billman family. They are sex trade abolishionists whose main desire is to set all captives free and display the true love of the Father!!! We love them so very much.

Shores of Grace is a worship and missionary ministry currently headquartered in Curitiba Brazil, led by Nic and Rachael Billman soon to be joined by Luke and Allison Billman. Their main focus is setting those in prostitution/sex trade industry free and walking them through healing and restoration; taking the love of the Father to the poor,needy,wounded and the broken people and helping them see their true Identity and value, and equipping and serving the churches in Brazil. The goal of the ministry teams. I believe is to reveal Father God in every aspect of what they are ministering. Sometimes its in the form of leading worship in a church or it could be walking the streets of Brazil and praying ofr people that they meet. The probably # goal besides rescuing the lost ,stolen,broken is that in everything they do... they want to reveal the Father. They take this calling that God has placed on their lives very,very seriously and they believe that it's a calling for the whole church, for every son and daughter of the living God.They are forerunners and they set the example well of living a life of love, compassion and power where signs wonders, miracles and healing and most of all LOVE follow them everywhere they go, just as with King Jesus.They are amazing folks. We love them!!!

Have followed the Billmans in their ministry and they have an incredible impact on the lives of those caught in the sex slave industry and are soon to open a rescue home for the young girls. God is using this ministy in powerful ways and making an impact in Brazil.

I am very impressed with the commitment of Nic and Racel and their family. They have opened their heart and their home to help others.

I have been deeply blessed in my times of worship and drawing closer to God with the music.

This nonprofit excels at loving the "least of these" on the streets of Brazil, as they help to rescue young girls from prostitution. I know the Billman family personally and they break my heart in a good way for these abandoned kids, while bringing their own children to live among them. They are sacrificing so much to bring the love of the Father to this place. A great cause and a great nonprofit. I can't believe how much they have accomplished with so little. Please help if you can.

These people have given of their lives to help the people they are working with. What greater sacrifice could they give then to live in harm's with their children to help the people. What greater cause can there be to give of your life to save and help others. They are worthy of every support they can recieve.

An amazing ministry that more people need to hear about. The people they are reaching out to have no one one to show them God's love and grace.

This is an amazing charity that brings hope to many who have no hope of a happy or healthy life, they are a bright light to many who only live in darkness, unloved and uncared for....

As a short term missionaries, my husband and I are familiar with Nic and Rachael Billman and what it means to be sincere in their calling. We've ministered with Nic. And have followed their ministry in Brazil with enthusiasm. Despite having our own ministry expenses, we've felt led to help them in their wonderfully sincere sharing of the heart of God to street walkers of all ages, throw away children, and everyone else God directs them to. They do so with such love and a touch of humor. And they see real results.

This is an amazing group of people that truly LOVE people. They go to the streets, and Do What Jesus Did. Amazing.

I love this ministry and think they are doing great work!!

Shores of Grace Ministries is a fantastic ministry which reaches out to women and children caught up in prostitution and other forms of bondage in Brazil. I know the leaders and find them above reproach in integrity and passion. I highly recommend Shores of Grace for your support!

The need for ministry to the street youth in Recife Brazil as well as many other villages there is profound and Shores of Grace outreach to these young adults will have a huge impact on countless affected kids. The culture of youth prostitution and trafficking around the world has grown into a large problem that is really just gaining recognition. The mission being undertaken by Luke and Alisan Billman with Shores of Grace ministries will hopefully spur growth of this effort across the country of Brazil and into other countries. Their message of unconditional love in the name of Jesus Christ is something many there have never heard and can be used to start building upon a new foundation for a future where there previously had been little or no foundation or support for any future.

Least of These CD is incredible.....It has touched my heart for the things that God is concerned with, Rachael & Nik are an amazing example of being the church.

I have worshiped God with Shores of Grace and I always come expecting to hear from God in there services. Their sensitivity to the move of God brings a great presence of God to those who are willing to listen.

After listening to one of their programs they prayed with me about a concern and in a few weeks things got better with the potential problem that coming to a head.

Shores of Grace is transforming lives and having great impact in Brazil. It's amazing to hear the testimonies and it challenges me personally to want to use my life to help others and bring transformation to different areas of society. Shores of Grace is touching the lives of those that others have overlooked. Shores of Grace is led by incredible people who have laid down their lives and made great sacrifice so that they can bring positive change and transformation to the lives of others.

Shores of Grace Ministries is transforming lives by bringing the love of Jesus Christ to many desperate individuals--those often living in the shadows of life who live with little hope.

Awesome group tackling the most challenging social problems in Brazil!

Shores of Grace has a very participatory and constructive. They are very special and has helped many people at risk. I nominate.

Nic and Rachel are the real thing. They have left their home and their "stuff" to go rescue lives in Brazil. I have found them to never be too busy to stop to love on you. Their music is some of the best for taking me right into the presence of our Papa God. Their ministry is one that I can give with the confidence that it is being used to make a huge difference in this world for the Best!

Would highly recommend supporting this ministry to my friends. I believe in their ministry and how they serve others.

The work Nic and Rachel have begun is frontline and proactive. They are not handing out gift bags for a day but loving prostitutes and pimps alike and providing a new life, a safe home, and the forgiveness and love of Jesus, the Loving Papa full of grace and power. Hope to be in Braxil soon, helping build the Beghany houses and encouraging the team.

Nic and Rachael are truely annointed to God's work and have a commitment that goes beyond words. They truely seek to let Go'ds Spirit guide them in ways which many of we Christians pass off as crazy ideas. They were ministering in our church's praise team and as youth pastors at the time God called them to Brazil. They had reached many people here in the US with their music and prayer ministry, but God's plans were bigger. With great courage and trust in God, they went to battle prositution in a country where it is considered legal. We cannot comprehend that here in the US....prositution legal. The truely heart breaking part is the amount of children hurt by this practice. Children orphaned by prositution are on the streets. Children sold into prositution by families. Shores of Grace is seeking to show children and prosititutes the way out....God's way....God's TRUE Shores of Grace with no condemnation, just love.

Shores of Grace Ministries is such an awesome project. So many issues are over looked in our world today, and this group of Missionaries are following God's instructions to help the least of these. The love that these people share with those in Brazil might only be for an hour or even just 5 minutes, but that love might be the only true love that individual has experienced in all or most of their life. Touching out to these individuals is such a life changing opportunity for them. I love supporting this group and I love everything they stand for!

Nic and Rachel don't just talk the talk but truly walk the walk. I think that what their doing for children is truly wonderful. We need a whole lot more people like them. If I can help them I'll surely try. I also love their music. It's such a joy to listen to. I listen to it a lot. Thank-you. Susan

Recently heard about this ministry through our church. The testimonies brought tears to my eyes as I realized the impact of Shores of Grace on the children in South America. What a wonderful way to love others as Jesus would have us love them.

Nic and Rachel have that literally break for the women and children. They are the hands and feet of Jesus like I have never seen before.

There is no greater work of God than saving children from the throes of prostitution, drugs and who knows what else. Because of the economy I cut back from charities but when I prayed about Shores of Grace, the Lord told me this is a work he wanted me to still give to. I know God is faithful and will suppy for this ministry, as it is the Father's Heart. Nic & Rachel and their family give so much of themselves to this ministry, that I feel it is an honor and privilege to help in the only way that I can. For any one who helps the least of these God will surely bless. This is one ministry where you will know you are walking in the will of God if you donate.

This ministry has a profound impact upon other small, developing non-profits that are trying to fight the same issues. They have provided insight, support and love to many. The stories are inspirational. The music is a blessing too.

What Shores of Grace is doing for all those children in Brazil is life changing and it is all for to the glory of God who touched the Billmans in a special way for their heart to be pierced for those on the street without hope for a future.

Shores of Grace is one of the most courageous, down on the street ministries I have encountered. They have such a. Heart for some of the most endangered people in the region they serve.

Shores of Grace Ministry is accountable and very effective in what they have set out to do in the country of Brazil. The clarity of their vision carries over to the clarity of their communication. We trust them and they have been responsive with us over the years. They periodically return to the United States and visit with the churches and people that support and pray for them. They are accessible by email and that means a lot as well. This a quality ministry!

The help they give these people is amazing! These girls and boys need shores of grace in their lives.

Shores of Grace Ministries has touched my heart over and over. They have given their lives to bring freedom to those who have no hope. Their music stirs my heart - with a response of worship to Almighty God. My daughter attended one of their meetings in a small town near us. She was impressed with their heart of service and worship to God. THese are ones who are actually doing something about the brokenness in our world. It is an honor to be one of those supporting them in prayer.

I have known the leaders, staff, and many volunteers of Shores of Grace for some time, and consider it an honor to get to partner with them financially, and just stand with them. Nic and Rachael Billman have the heart, the knowledge, and the passion to truly see an end to human trafficking on the streets of Recife, Brazil. It's rare to see such a combination, but I recognized it in them when I first heard about their vision for Brazil. It's a big one, but one they are going to see fulfilled. They are establishing practices now that will enable the vision to be sustainable, powerful, and easily duplicated all over the world. This isn't your ordinary non-profit; I give with confidence knowing my dollars aren't going to get tied up in red-tape, exorbitant salaries, and politics. You should, too.

I served in international children's ministry for 10 years through Aldersgate Renewal Ministries and Kids' Evangelism Explosion. My heart breaks when I hear of children trapped into providing the selfish needs of adults (whether physical or financial) instead of living their lives as God's children. The members of Shores of Grace Ministries have boldly moved their families to Brazil to make a difference, to put a stop to this horrible sex trade and to bring the children "home" to safe havens where they can learn about TRUE LOVE through Jesus Christ. It is so easy to get caught up in the busyness of life and to ignore what's going on in the world, but we must get our heads out of the sand and go after this evil thru prayer and by supporting those like the Billmans who are called to serve in the midst of the storm of immorality. Vivian Cate

I have listened to this charities music and I was extremely affected, not only did it cause me to love God more but, other people as well.

We need more People like this who give their Lives so that others can experience what It means to be Loved!!

The work Shores of Grace does in uplifiting and empowering to others. They see everyone as God's children without any type of judgment. They go into places that most would not even dare to reach out and talk about God's love and to help those that do not know our Heavenly Father.

I've had the privilege of seeing the work of Shores of Grace up close and personally in Brazil and I cannot recommend them highly enough. They are reaching out to vulnerable and hurting people, offering love and hope and practical wisdom and resources to transform their lives. They are undaunted by short-term obstacles as they always keep the long view in mind. They are both seeking to lay a foundation for a long-term, large scale project in excellence, and they are willing to work with whatever they have in moment without complaining.

This is an organization that I follow to see what they are doing. I love the stories of individual people they are serving. Many organizations are only interested in helping large groups. While this organization does help many people, they do not object to stopping for the "one" person who they can make a difference for. I really appreciate the simplicity and humbleness of heart that this attribute demonstrates.

Shores of Grace has a vision and is putting legs to it. They are working well with civic leaders in the city where they operate and are poised to have a huge impact there!

Shores of Grace is changing lives. They are helping individuals see there is a better life than bondage to prostitution and self-destructive behavior.

Shores of Grace helps those least able to help themselves. They do so much with so little but make such an impact on the lives they touch.

Would love to be able to help out more. Financially we are hurting pretty bad ourselves. When we are able though we will be sending some support as we have it. Praying for you, though and think what you are doing is great. Hope to sometime in the future open a home for women and children rescued from trafficing. God bless you abundantly!

Nic and Rachael are Awesome! God is moving in there lives through worship and ministry. They are a blessing to Brazil, my family and my church. They are real go getters God speaks to them and they obey! What a great example of servant leadership! Love you guys Steve and Mary Stupar HCF Church Frederick MD, USA

I have met this family several times and always come away impressed with what they do. I am thankful that they work with the children trapped in prostitution in Brazil to provide them a safe escape.

Nic and Rachael have accomplished more through their ministry than many large churches have! I am always amazed by the stories they share about the lives of the people in Brazil who are being rescued from the deplorable conditions in which they live. Their authenticity and perseverance is an example for all of us. And their worship music is wonderful!

Shores of Grace is doing amazing work - they are loving the unlovable (those victimized by sex trafficking who are only used and not loved...) simply for love's sake. They are changing lives and not in a corporate, sweeping approach - they take the time to learn and appreciate each person for who they are. Shores of Grace is not looking for boxes to be checked, but they are spending as much time and love as is needed to bring healing and ministry to every individual and then they empower them to live a better life and pass on the love :)

It truly is amazing when a young family give up their life as they have known it to seek a work of this nature in an other country. Nic and Rachael truly serve others with a pure heart. They have an incredible ministry and calling to seek and help a people others would never go near.

It's sad...more like tragic that young children are sold for sex or so poor that they can't go to school and have no hope of a different future.

Shores of Grace is great! I know Luke & Nick Billman and their families. They are doing what mist people would never consider doing. They have left everything comfortable and secure to rescue prostitutes and their children from lives of desperation and hopelessness in Brazil. They are loving on them and bringing the to the Living Water--to the lavish grace and forgiveness of Jesus Christ. Miracles abound as they follow the call of God and give selflessly of themselves to those who are valueless to most people, but of great worth to Father God. They are truly God-called, and He opens the doors for them.

Amazing heart for helping those stuck in sex trafficking. Nic and Rachel are incredible worship leaders and have hearts full of love and compassion.

Amazing heart for the hurting and lost. Incredible music also.

I am brazilian, lived there for 30 years and never saw such passion for our kids like Nic and Rachel demonstrate everyday on the streets.They are changing the city of Recife, gaining support from goverment and society! Amazing representation of the Kingdom!!!

Shores of Grace is doing wonderful, life saving and life giving work. They make connections with 'the least these" and help them get out of the dark places so many are stuck. They are providing help and a way out of the sex trade. They are committed and connected to the communities of hurting people.

Nic, Rachel, and their family are on the front lines confronting a serious, global issue - human trafficing in the sex trade industry. They are rescuing children and young adults from a lifetime of abuse, neglect, and hopelessness. They are giving life to children again from where it was stolen. They are making a huge impact! Their mission is essential and should be modeled elsewhere around the world. Thank you Nic and Rachel! Jessica, Albuquerque, NM.

I was listening one day to worship music on internet radio and heard the song Shores of Grace. The anointing of God on the music could be felt as I wanted to stop what I was doing and worship God. It took me a while to discover them because I didn't know the name of the song or who sang it, but he that seeks will find. I ordered all of their music available at the time and was really impressed to find out that their heart is to bring people to Jesus and see them set free from a life in bondage; and this was even more important to them than the worship. I truly believe they are carriers of the anointing of God and are doing serious damage to the plans of the enemy. I pray for them often and support them financially.

Shores of Grace is a wonderful ministry that is doing God's work saving children and young adults from sex slavery. The hearts of the Billmans are totally committed to this cause. They are driven by the Spirit and are doing His work on a daily basis. I can't think of a better ministry to support because we are called to take care of the orphans and the widows...that is what they do. Please support them as they begin the process of opening the first resuce home in the region for these children.

EXCELLENT investment! Highly recommended. You can be sure your dollars are going for the most impact. These people are living on next to nothing themselves to help the poorest of the poor and bring social justice to the helpless!

There are not enough words to express the integrity and honesty of this organization. The goalfor this organization helps bring self confidence to young women caught in acts of violence , prostitution and illegal activity gives them hope. That hope is a way out knowing that their life is not supposed to be that way and that they were born for a greater purpose. What Shore of Grace is doing is barnone reaching the human spirit right where it's at!

I follow Shores of Grace's ministry and see the testimonies of the wonderful work they are doing. I also listen to their music. I know these couples to be very dedicated to this work.

I had been watching Rachel and Nic making history for a while now, and I have to say I have never met such humble people who have nothing to hide, but tones of love to give! The work they do is extraordinary!

I had never heard about Shores of Grace until some good friends of ours introduced us to it. My husband and I had just miscarried a baby right after these friends of ours moved out of state. A few weeks later we received in the mail a letter from them, letting us know that they'd made a donation to Shores of Grace Ministries in honor of our baby who is now in Heaven. It blessed us so much, not only that our dear friends cared so much about us, but also that they chose to honor the memory of our sweet child by donating money to an important cause. The fact that these friends of ours chose this specific ministry to donate to made an impact on me. I know that this ministry is incredibly important because of what they do, and I feel so blessed to have a small part in it. This ministry is absolutely vital and must be supported by prayer, financial means, and by serving.

The work and dedication of the Billmans' and their team is an incredible example of dedication to God, ministry, and the outreach to the people of Brazil. What they have accomplished in their time in Brazil is amazing. The annointing on Nic and Rachel, their family and their music is life changing. I respect that they use their music to raise funds to support their missions work. I have been blessed by their music and inspired by their testimonies.

This couple has laid down their lives to set the captives free and open the prison gates. They are one of the most beautiful examples of the love of Jesus I've ever known. You discover their heart for these dear ones caught in the sex trade through their music. If you haven't heard it I recommend you get their albums. Especially "The Least of These" and "The Roar of the LIon"

The work that Luke and others from the Shores of Grace Ministry team do to help children and young adults is absolutely amazing. They selflessly go into the poorest areas without regard to personal safety and preach the life affirming, redeeming grace of the Good News! I 100% support the work and mission of Shores of Grace and am constantly astonished to read the updates Luke sends us.

My wife and I financially and prayerfuly support Shores of Grace, since we are not able to minister along side of Nic and Luke. Every time we hear of how a child or adult is taken out of the sex trade and has a new life in Christ we are super-charged with excitement and joy. We rejoice with the Angles in heaven for the victory the Father has done through Shores of Grace. The music is awesome, I feel it is the gateway to the throne of God. They use the gift God has given them for music and reaching out to those who are in need. They are relentless. Thanks for that you do, EB

Shores of Grace is an excellent non profit ministry. They are reaching out to some of the most destitute children in the world. They are not just talking about the sex-trade, they are doing something about it. Helping them just makes sense.

Shores of Grace Ministries is one of the only organizations that I fully trust with everything that I am. They are rescuing children, women and men out of human trafficking and giving them hope for a better future! Nic and Rachael Billman, along with their own children, are whole heartedly dedicated to seeing human trafficking end in their life time. Their hearts are pure and humble and they are incredibly genuine. They live to serve others. Their lives and work has already impacted thousands of people and I don't have to even think for a second as to whether or not I believe in their organization and want to support them.

Having met and worked briefly with Nic and Rachael, and enjoyed their worship at various conferences, I am in great awe and respect for what they are doing, and their devotion to and love for their Papa God. What obedience and devotion to God it takes to pick up your whole family and move to a foreign country. I love them dearly as brother and sister in Christ. I pray that God will continually bless their work in Brazil, protect and guide them, their team and their families. I pray that God's power will shine through them to the lost and hurting. Barbara Yoder

Reading the life story of the Billman family, now in Brazil, has enlightened me to the need they serve in human trafficking. In their area, they restore life and hope to prostitutes and the broken and homeless of any age group, etc. Their sacrifice of life as we know it in America, is huge, as it brings life to multitudes who have lost quality of life. The heart of this family through worship, ministry, etc. is immense and is making a huge impact world wide.

The Shorse of Grace Ministries are providing a service to children that is profoundly important. They are getting children off the streets and stopping abuse. I bless this ministry every day for their work and all the children they have saved.

Shores of Grace miniatures has inspired me to be bold and share the love of Jesus with others

Nic and Rachael Billman are laying down their lives to save children and young adults trapped in the sex trafficking industry in Brazil. While many of us can only pray and/or financially support ministries in this important area, they are pouring their entire lives into it. I believe in their integrity and their hearts for the people of Brazil.

Amazing work they are doing to help those who are powerless to help themselves and those being abused by others... women, children who desperately need freedom from those who would just use them up and throw them away.... the least, the last, and the lost. Here is a ministry making a real difference in the world.

Shores of Grace Ministries is a wonderful non-profit that is helping the poor in the slums of Brazil. While many others simply talk about helping the poor, Nic and Rachel Billman are out on the streets in the wee hours of the night ministering and bringing food, clothing, hope, and healing to the prostitutes, drug addicts, street children, and many who are in dire straits. Their love is infectious and their impact noticeable in the lives of those they care for. I've known them for several years, and what they are doing in Brazil is inspiring. This is a worthy field into which to sow seed.

Shores of grace is an amazing non-profit organization that is taking children off the streets and giving them a hopeful future. They take the broken, abused, and neglected and help transform their destiny for life!

I love the hearts of the Billman family and their desire to see God's people set free! The strides they are already making in Brazil has ripple effects in the Kingdom. They are walking out their purpose and in doing so, are touching lives and hearts to see theirs for the first time.

A loving group of Christians who go into the streets of Brazil and rescue young and old - those trapped in the sex trade- getting them off the streets, and give them the Love of Jesus!

My wife and I host conferences in Lancaster, OH and first met Nic and Rachel at a conference where they were leading worship for Randy Clark and Bill Johnson. I was so impressed with their anointed worship, I introduced myself to them and purchased their only CD at the time. Since, I have learned of the effects their ministry is having on the sex trade and child trafficking around the world. We have hosted their ministry and intend to continue hosting them as they visit America on tours. I hope to go to Brazil and work along side of Shores of Grace as a missionary to their cause. We so like their music, we not use it as our worship music of choice, but also play it as background music in our conferences and prayer meetings. Of all ministries we support, Shores of Grace is among the top ten we feel is doing great impact worthy of our friendship and support. John Reed, Founder of East Gate Glory, Lancaster, Ohio

Shores of Grace is one of greatest ministries I have had a chance to be a part of. I have worked with them on many occasions and have seen the great things they are doing. They believe in what they do 100% and are willing to sacrifice everything they have to help those in need. They are nothing short of life changing.

This ministry is a powerful tool that the Lord is using. He has used Nic and Rachel to speak over my life. They have opened my eyes to things unseen otherwise. These woman that they help deserve the chance to be seen.

I'm in awe of what this ministry accomplishes and the vital role they play in the spread of God's word and their Faith-in-action and hands-on approach to meeting the people where they need it most. Many people will know God and draw into a close relationship with Jesus because of this ministry. God bless you continually and abundantly!

Shores of grace is an incredible nonprofit. They do so much to love on the world and I have been deeply touched through their work. It is because of their work that I have a longing desire to partner with them to love on people who tend to be ignored or forgotten. Shores of Grace have also given me a charge to love on everyone in my path.

I have known the Billmans and Shores of Grace Ministries for four years. Their passion for reaching people on the streets of Brazil is limitless and they have such a heart for others. I have had the privilege to watch the ministry grow and develop...they are doing fantastic work helping people realize their inherent value as children of God.

I have seen this ministry on the streets of Brazil. The Holy Spirit is fully engaged with Shores of Gace.

The work that Shores Of Grace does for the trafficked children in the world is above and beyond anything I have experienced before. While similar organizations focus on awareness, feeding programs, prevention or shelter, Shores of Grace encompasses all of these things with their approach of creating a loving family to change the lives of trafficked children and the homeless child population in the world. No matter what the kids are doing when they encounter them on the streets they meet them with loving arms and walk them through restoration in one of their rescue homes. They are truly world changing history makers!!
