Brazil: New record for nationwide Christmas food collection initiative

Brazil: New record for nationwide Christmas food collection initiative: "A nationwide Christmas celebration brought tears of joy and shouts of excitement from volunteers and national celebrities during the December 15 culmination of a Seventh-day Adventist Church initiative to help those in need.

'Tonight we did the unexpected and broke last year's record of collecting 2,500 tons of food for the needy. The result tonight is 3,200 tons,' announced Sergio Azevedo, the creator of 'Christmas MutirĂ£o -- Sharing Hope,' the 14-year old joint action of thousands of volunteers in local Adventist churches across Brazil."
