These are my birthday pics...a long time coming! I am so blessed for my family here in Brazil...they take such good care of me like Jesus would.
I loved all of your birthday greetings, and I have been so busy...sorry it has taken so long to write to you. These are pics of a brazilian bbq... my precious Renilda and Albert threw this one n their veranda which overlooks the entire city of Belo...what a sweet time together in Christ! And a surprise at that!

OK, brace yourselves...the newest Paradise Found the Ruas....Novo Contagem, BRAZIL!
Pastor Divino out with us...lots of poor children get the giggles in the Holy Spirit while we pass out some asuca and biscoits!
our sign to all...in Portuguese: "If you found true love what would you d with it?"
This is the heart of the Lord...LOVE! Hats off to the team of radicals for Jesus out here! Please pray for them; they work so hard and do it with such joy!
(The pic I promised before....the girls at Casa De Meninas showing off their self portraits!!!)
Street work and family visits with the social worker in Ipe Amarelo, Novo Contagem. I have forever fallen in love with this place. All of the cuties here follow me around every Wednesday. It has been awesome discipling the women in the garlic factory..so many people in Brazil know about Jesus, His name is almost a fad, on the cars, the tee shirts, the music, SO many churches, but few really know what it means to live this life for Him. Please continue to pray for me as well as my translators to accurately spread forth the message of life, healing, joy, and love through Jesus.
This mother is precious, living in a shack with garbage all around her and the family, she is so humble and gentle in spirit; she went into her room to get a sheet to put on the beaten up sofa with holes all over, and then the children tried to dissapear. They said they were embarrassed. Thats when the Holy Spirit showed me what to do! I whipped out the word and said, lets gather together...and hear a story...
I told them how everyone always fllowed Jesus around for a story, and we went straight thru the sermon on the mount and the beattitudes. BLESSED are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom! I told them about their true destinies here and how they were royalty and then I took off my shoes and told them I felt more comfortable where there was true love then any hoity toity place on the earth...and told them it was here!!! Then we prayed together.
What a change Jesus makes!
