This weekend... May 23rd - 25th

Its kind of hard to stop on the side of the road to take pictures, but I wanted you to see a fairly common sight here in Brazil... Selling saints along the roadside. It wasn't long ago that I noticed Catholic candles and merchandise being sold in North Carolina, but in Brazil you almost forget to take notice because idolatry is so much a part of the culture. It really effects every aspect of life in South America in the big cities and the small ones.

I took Vilmo and Nelsi and Samuel, the directors of the social project where I live, to the church in Florestal today where they spoke to the church about street children. They challenged the church, and really made an impact on everyone. It was a beautiful morning and afternoon!


This morning we had 19 children at Waterfall of Souls. Andrea gave the lesson and everyone participated and had a great time... God has blessed!
