Children's Day - A big deal

In Brazil Children's Day is a big deal. Most kids get a gift from their parents and get to do something fun like a day at the park, or go out to eat etc. This of course is for the children with parents able to do something for them. Each year we take a bus from Recife to do a special Children's Day for the kids in Ingazeira. We gather gifts so that each child gets something. Our young people do games and skits with them. Children's Day is a month away, so pray for this event and all that is entailed in the preparation for the big day. Since we now have a sports field there on church grounds, we are going to do something special for the young people of the town too. We need wisdom and creativity all the way around!

Youth "RadaR" Ministry

Saturday I spoke to our youth group at their new ministry called RadaR. It has been an exciting ministry that Marcy and I have helped the youth get going. It has been exciting see our college and career youth develop this outreach. I did a story telling time about how the Gospel reached the caretaker at Camp Peniel when I was a child. My point was that the Gospel is simple enough and God's grace is great.
