This morning as we were catching up with news in Rio, we were saddened to learn of two recent bus accidents on Rio's new bus line, the BRT, that left 130 people injured.
The first accident occurred on the highway directly in front of our home in Rio.

- Pray for our Brazilian partners as we are stateside. Pray they use all opportunities to minister and comfort the innocent people that suffered in these accidents.
- Pray for the city of Rio as preparations continue for the 2016 Olympics.
We were also saddened to read of recent shootings in the Morro do Juramento between two rivaling drug gangs.

- Pray, as well, for those communities that have not yet received protection from the Unification Pacification Police (UPP) in preparation for the Olympic games.
Our hearts go out to those that were injured. With all the added traffic caused by the World Cup, we have begun using the BRT more and more.
Praying that those affected by these trials turn to Christ,
Diane and Jeff
