alex and the team are back.
jasmin, kelli, darren and marcie had a blessed time. The surf school is up and running with over 80 kids. Bible studies for them are also going strong and the response is amazing. Pictures should be available soon. Alex and I are trying to start a non-profit for this mission so that we can accept tax deductible donations. Clothes, shoes and any school supplies are luxuries, they are soooo poor. The slum Moura Brasil is THE worst in Fortaleza and the poorest, yet God protected our team and allowed them to bless the YWAM missionaries. These people are so sold out for the Lord and they do it on pocket change. It costs only 100.00 dollars a month to be a full time servant for Jesus yet most of these young people struggle with even that. So if any one feels led by the Lord to support them, just send us a line and we will connect you. We are also trying to set up a sponsorship program for the kids, so keep that in prayer too. We are planning another trip maybe in January, we will keep you posted. Maybe you can be one to go?

The words "soooo poor" cause my heart to pay attention. I hope one day the Lord lets me help those kids in Jesus name.

What is the Gang situation like?
