You wouldn't believe how much the children at Waterfall get excited about riding in my car once around the block... They love the idea of "going places"... So we cram 10 children in the car and ride the equivalent of one or two city blocks, and the children wave to everyone. They love the experience! The children want to take turns honking the horn... We are a sight!
Lucas is the boy on the left side of the picture. I wanted you to see the picture of his "toy of choice"... A bit different from game boy or x box... But perfectly content...
we meet in the local town square and have been meeting here for the last 5 years or so... We would like to buy a house in this community. If we are able to establish ourselves in this place, the work will belong to the Baptist church of Florestal.
The government gave us a piece of land some time back for a period of 30 years... The draw back was that after that whatever is built would have to be returned to the government, not only that but that the Catholic church does not want us to be there so they put pressure on the government to revoke the land even now and not honor the agreement. Now we have the opportunity to buy a house there for 30 thousand Reais, which is about 16 thousand dollars. Please pray that we would be able to see this happen. We have a little over 6 thousand Reais at the moment. This would be something that the government could not take later and insure that the church would have a place to take root and become a point of reference for the people of this city and become the 1st Protestant church of Waterfall of Souls!
