Brazil Mission 2008 | Sharing our Stories

God has presented us with the opportunity to serve him in the streets and homes of Brazil! Our team is comprised of six college students - Nicole, Robin, Briana, Tyler, Miles, and Josh - who have it in their hearts to discover what it means to serve Jesus in a different part of the world.

And so we packed our bags, said our goodbyes, and set of on an adventure to Recife, Brazil. We are staying with the Pruitt missionary family who has been working in the area for many years. Recife is one of the largest cities in Brazil, and is also one of the country's most violent and impoverished. The need for Christ's healing, comfort, and message is greater than ever. And with this in mind, we have organized a mission effort that will take place in the months of June and July.

We will be working with many kids, some who are part of the church, others who live in orphanages. We will be working alongside our brothers and sisters in the region, meeting some of the many needs that God will show us. And in the meantime, we expect nothing less than to have our worldview expanded, our comfort zones challenged, and our hearts broken for Christ and His kingdom.

This blog will serve as a record of our stories, experiences, and feelings. You will also be able to see our pictures and videos. There is also a link to our Paypal account at www.livewalklove.com if you would like to contribute financially to some of the needs we encounter in a third world country.

We are greatly thankful to all who have supported us to get this far, and for the prayers you have gracefully showered upon us! We as for your continual encouragement and the journey goes on.
