A day of Dreams, hopes, Visions and Nations coming together for the Kingdom..........

Our community....
This was a significant day....... We had the chance to focus on the future and not just want his happening today

Its exciting when i arrived here in Rio about a month ago now i was met at the airport by 3 friends, so excited to see them and be back home here in Brasil........ One of my first conversations was with my friend Giselle, she was so excited to share here vision and things that God has been showing here, we talked in the airport and it was incredible because her vision inter twinned with my vision and the vision of others i know......

Today we met, we were missing four people because they are working and in school, but we all shared our visions and callings that God has put on our hearts and it is incredible how God has spoke the same sort of vision but all with a slight different role in it.......
Our team with one dream
As i sit in a room listening to the incredible stories and ways in which God spoke to all of us, i am amazed at Gods greatness and His hopes for this community......

This is the start of Gods Kingdom  coming, hearts to be healed and dreams to happen, for complete transformation and we all play a part and God guides the way.....

We got to pray around a building that has been shown to two people in a vision and we are trusting God for his will

We await his timing and his prompting, we walk daily submitting all to him and we know with confidence He will make something beautiful out of this..........

So Daily we have been in the streets, with the school kids talking and doing life with them, building friendship and sharing life stories with them...... Some of the homeless people live in this plaza too and so we have been talking with them buying food and helping with some medical needs with them.... We are loving this and so thankful to be able to be here........

Our new friends in the Plaza!!!

Living for a Reason..........

Teachings about missions in this cute church!! 
The more i am here the more i am seeing gods confirmation and his doors opening for the future plans he has for his kingdom to come.....

We have been teaching and equipping churches with the tools of tidying the word and having the foundations that don't shake and that are for ever and ones that will not shake!!!

Seeing people understand and have their eyes opened to what they are reading has been such a blessing......

The little baby from the family 
We have been having cool opportunities meeting people in the streets, praying with then and sharing food and drinks and hugs with them and prayers. We met a little family who had a baby and 2 children on the curb, they were sitting outside the house with all their belongings, we went out to speak with them and they asked for food, the mum and dad were deaf and mute so we communicated through the little girl and writing!! They have had to leave there home as it is really not safe for them to be there, we could only share food with them and pray for them but please continue praying for their safety and protection and Gods provision to......

Vaccinations
We have been seeing God's provision and his hand guiding us, we were praying to God to Manaus as you know whilst we were here as we have some incredible opportunities to teach and train. We went and got our Yellow Fever vaccinations in faith that we were going!!!

But we had no money for it, the other day i looked at prices and it was like $500. Me and Luis were like what the heck??!!! I was thinking now we won't be going, but we prayed and said " God if you want us to go then please take the price down to like $200 then we can go" So anyway, i was thinking what do we do, just stay and see what God does.....

My home for 2 weeks... favourite place 
The next morning Luis and i walk to get bread and Luis says " What do you think about the trip to Manaus?" I was like "I don't know really we just see, what happens i guess" Luis said i think we are going we just wait!!

Then that morning i was studying and i thought let me check the price on line of the flights, so i look and oh my word Yes, they had gone down to $209 each!!!! I start screaming "LUIS, LUIS we are going to Manaus!!!"

So God is continuing to blow us away and have incredible opportunities to share his word and truth to see people be set free......

Brasil: Taking the word to the Rio Favellas ..........

This is where we are(Me and Luis the bible nerds but we are very cool actually), this is the favella that we are staying in, we live in the Church with the DTS that are here too from YWAM Tijuana!!!

We are 6 days in and God has been so faithful we have been busy teaching and bringing the word of God to the churches but to the kids and teens on the street, calling them out for who they are and loving them in a way that is showing them their real value and worth in life!!

We ran a small bible school workshop and we have been teaching how to study the word and how to bring it to be relevant for today!!

Then we went to a camp in the mountains with some teenagers and hung out with them sharing with them about their real identity and who they are in God that they are such precious people and they can really live a life that is full of peace and love because of God and because he is the one that will love and protect them in all things..... Many of guys have been caught up in things that have brought de value to them and brought anger and pain, and insecurity to their lives and we are showing them that there is more to life and that with Jesus there is so much more for them!!!

We have been walking the streets of the favellas and praying for people and talking with them too!!!

We are so thankful to be here in such a precious place seeing how God has been changing and restoring and renewing lives and hopes......
Thank you for your support, prayers and love........
