Hello All!
This afternoon was our last to see Vini. He came from Lajaedo to visit the girls at Christen's and then headed to rendezvous with Jake to the top tourist spot in Bom Retiro.... the dam! While Jake and Vini were out, Risa had a good chat with Mariana (Sammy's 24yr old daughter) about God's sovereignty in our lives.
Afterward, Risa went on a quick trip to see the top half of their new undeveloped property to take some pictures. Their property is a soccer field wide and 3 acres long, The vision for it eventually is to build a boarding school, and God willing, an orphanage. This city is full of dysfunctional families and so the goal is to have the kids there all day, to be able to keep them off the streets at night.
Sammy and Marcia would also like to be able to grow food on the property to help feed the children too. It is such an amazing vision that would bear unimaginable amounts of fruit! Perhaps this vision resonates with you. If you have a heart for young lives, would like to learn Portuguese, willing to teach English, and/ or exercise your special God -given talents..then this is a wonderful place for you to serve.
At youth group, Risa enjoyed talking with Paola and Monik in both English and Portuguese. Both of those girls have a heart for missions so it is so exciting to encourage them in that area! Risa shared a message on the 6 Keys to Activate the Power of God In Your Life. 
Sammy did such a great job translating and the message really seemed to hit home with a lot of the young adults there. Then, about 15 people stuck around afterward to play the game Psychiatrist. It was a blast!
And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.--Acts 2:47
