Out and About in the City

Last week we went to Fan Fest to share with people about human trafficking, and share with people or pray for them as we were led to do.

 This weekend I was able to go to the house of prayer that is going on during World Cup. It was soo good. :) Reminded me of Gateway.

 
Beautiful Boa Viagem-in Recife

 This weekend we went to a large park in the city and drew a crowd through dance, and drama, and then shared Jesus with them. As were were there and the group was dancing and proclaiming Jesus through the songs I thought about what we were doing was having an impact in the spiritual realm as well. God is so good.

World Cup Outreach

Monday we went to Olinda, a nearby city for intercession, outreach, and speaking out against human trafficking. It was a great time. One thing in particular that was so cool was that some people from our group felt like we should read scriptures in square where we were, so we did! We split up into groups and people were reading the book of Ephesians in three different languages out loud. God is so good, and his word does not return to him void! Gloria. :)

This picture is overlooking part of Olinda, and the skyscrapers in the distance is Recife.





We had a long trip to get to Olinda, it consisted of a bus, metro (subway), walking, bus, and more walking. :) On the subway our group broke out in song and dance, the video doesn't accurately portray the energy and volume involved, but its a glimpse. It was neat. :)
As you think about us please pray for us as we go out and share the light and message of God! :)

Brazil

I'm in Brazil!
 It has been a great start and good to be back.

World Cup started on Thursday. There are a lot of people here at the base during this time and we are spending our time going out into the city sharing with people about the problem of human trafficking, and ministering to people as the Lord leads. A typical day includes one group going out into the surrounding community or city for the morning and the second group going out in the afternoon to different areas around the city- outside hotels, the beach, the bus station, and tourist spots. The group that stays on the base does cleaning, and cooking at the base etc.

These two pictures are of the World Cup stadium and surrounding neighborhood around the base. Last night was the first game here and we could hear the roar of the crowds from our apartment!
