11/1/14 &11/4/14

Over the past couple of weeks since I last wrote were some of the craziest and spiritually blessed weeks I have had. God has definitely been working here in Brasil and also in his clay pot (me).


We had two groups from the states come and minister to many different groups of people. We had one group that went to the local running Living Stones throwing birthday parties for the kids there in the towns.  The other group was a worship team that gave a wonderful seminar about worship and ministered to the families of Lagoa de Itaenga. Through the worship team 20+ people (parents and students and teachers) came to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior.  They were able have a concert that drew many people in to hear the gospel because they were an American band.

These groups came at the perfect time, I have been battling depression and homesickness recently. God sent these Americans to renew my passion for the Brazilian people and my wanting for their lives to become saved.

I have moved once again because of my allergies from the apartment downtown, I am now living at the school with another intern. Hopefully this will help with my heath issues and that I can survive the 4-5 weeks I have left.

Please continue praying for my health both mental and physical. God is teaching me how to be flexible and humble in many situations. Please pray that I can continue in the way God wants me to go.


Go With God
