Jeff and I, along with the mission team that is here from JEFC, had a wonderful day today loving the children in Campinho at Projeto Amar (Project Love)!
One of the leaders has a 2-month old baby boy and so we were able to bring her a baby quilt sewn by the women of JEFC!!! Thank you so much, ladies! Bless you!
Nick shared his awesome testimony of how God has provided him a wonderful father figure (Grant) and godly example to follow in his life and how he is walking with Jesus.
Jenna and Nick together shared how their family studies the bible together and prays together.
Sonia, the Director of the program, followed up Nick's testimony with a word of how, no matter where you are from, we all have problems in life and can choose to change our lives through the power of the Holy Spirit by becoming a disciple of Jesus Christ!
Cullen read an awesome children's book about a village of people, a farmer and his tractor who learned to follow God's word and work together to help those in need.
Grant shared about Iowa and answered many wonderful questions that the children had!!!!
Jay shared about God's goodness and sweetness as he taught the children how to make baked S'Mores. They loved them and now can make them at home! The leaders are already talking about making them for their next party!
We all enjoyed running and playing together as the team led several games!
During our ride in the van to Campinho, we were sad to learn that the van driver, our friend, Guilherme's wife passed away three weeks ago and the team was able to pray for this dear friend and his family in this time of sorrow and loss. However, we celebrate with them that his wife is a believer in Jesus and is now in eternity with Christ!
Tomorrow we will travel to Mare, another community here in Rio to share the love of Christ with a whole new group of children!
Pray for us as we minister together this week in the strong name of Jesus,
Diane and Jeff
