For The Children ...Brazil

2008-01-23T13:18:00.000-08:00

HI everyone
So much is going on and all because God is soooo Good! The Piagetti's are expecting another baby! This time it will be a summer baby and not a winter one. We are so excited that God has given us so many beautiful blessings. The boys are super excited and can't wait to see their newest sibling. They all want a girl! Go figure! We are also making plans to go back to Brazil in March. But instead of flying into Fortaleza, we will go to Sao Paolo first and than Fortaleza. That way we can visit family and rest during the journey. God has moved in such a mighty way in Fortaleza, especially the slum of Moura Brazil. It is certainly the time of harvest. The fields are ripe. People are getting saved, being baptized and discipled all in the slum! The children's ministry is booming. The surf school is successful and the Christmas party was truly a blessing for them. They are really responding to the love being expressed to them. Church teams are joining up with YWAM and doing short term ministry, and 3 local missionaries are now able to work for Jesus full time!!! Keep praying for us and for FTC Brazil. We are on the final lap of the application process for the tax-exempt number so lift that up so that we can receive it and be able to provide those tax-deductible receipts. Visit our website and check out the new YOUTUBE link for a visual update on what is happening in Brazil.

alex and the team are back.
jasmin, kelli, darren and marcie had a blessed time. The surf school is up and running with over 80 kids. Bible studies for them are also going strong and the response is amazing. Pictures should be available soon. Alex and I are trying to start a non-profit for this mission so that we can accept tax deductible donations. Clothes, shoes and any school supplies are luxuries, they are soooo poor. The slum Moura Brasil is THE worst in Fortaleza and the poorest, yet God protected our team and allowed them to bless the YWAM missionaries. These people are so sold out for the Lord and they do it on pocket change. It costs only 100.00 dollars a month to be a full time servant for Jesus yet most of these young people struggle with even that. So if any one feels led by the Lord to support them, just send us a line and we will connect you. We are also trying to set up a sponsorship program for the kids, so keep that in prayer too. We are planning another trip maybe in January, we will keep you posted. Maybe you can be one to go?

LEADING OTHERS TO BRAZIL

IT HAS BEEN AN AMAZING ADVENTURE SO FAR. THE LORD IS REALLY WORKING IN THE LIVES OF THE PEOPLE OF CEARA, A NORTHEASTERN STATE OF BRAZIL. THERE IS A FLOOD OF PROSPERITY TEACHING AND QUITE FRANKLY THE BRAZILIANS ARE READY TO HEAR SOME BIBLICAL TRUTH. THE DESIRE TO KNOW JESUS IS OVERWHELMING AND THE NEED FOR WORKERS EVEN GREATER. SO ALEX IS GOING NOW IN AUGUST WITH A GROUP OF 4 FOR A WEEK TO HELP OUT YWAM IN FORTALEZA AND MORE SPECIFICALLY IN A SLUM CALLED MOURA BRASIL. PLEASE KEEP THEM IN PRAYER!
