Jacarei

We spent the last week in Jacarei working with a team from our home church in Lexington, Kentucky. We worked with missionaries Russ & Diane Dean and Patrick & Ann-Janel McClure at Haven of Hope Children's Home. We had an amazing time with old friends and new ones as well. We were able to witness God working in the lives of many people as they came to faith in Christ. It was wonderful to see how God used even our children to help translate for the team.

We were also completely humbled by how HE used a body of believers, CPC, to minister to our hearts in ways unimaginable. We were loved on and prayed over continuously throughout the week and all five of us have returned to our work here in Ribeirao with renewed vigor. They brought enormous amounts of supplies to us including several HUGE bags of baseball equipment for an upcoming ministry that I'll fill you in on soon, TONS of peanut butter, fishing poles, Twizzlers and Blow pops, books, and just to give you a little idea of HOW good they were to us, I had Dr. Pepper with my dinner tonight! Lots more to share but I'm exhausted and it's REALLY late here...
