My first month in Campinas
Hey guys! For the last month i've been living in Campinas, Sao Paulo, Brazil. Lately my life has had some crazy twists and turns, and it was only God that I ended up in this city, with these people doing what im doing. It was almost like a series of events that God put together to build me up to this point, Masters Comission. Every day brings something new! And I dont think I've ever been so busy in my life! Our week goes something like this - Tuesdays we go to a Creche called Nova Jerusalem. A Creche is a non profit school/daycare that provides care for young children on a frequent basis. The children at the creches we work at are mainly from the favellas, aka slums. Our team provides english classes, dance classes. Most of all we try to build relationships with the kids, and give them the love that alot of them have never had. Wednesdays were at a different creche called Creche Anna, we do the same type of thing there, our focus is more on english. Thursdays we have our classes at masters, and in the evening we do street ministry. Our team gets coffee and cookies together and heads to downtown campinas ministering to the homeless, the prostitutes and the street kids. Fridays we have classes in the morning and Creche Anna in the afternoon. Saturday mornings, Lucilene ( another girl in masters) and I have started english class with a few children in Pastor Richards neighborhood and in the evenings we usually are ministering at a church, as well as sunday morning and evening. Then MONDAY is our lovely day off! It sounds like alot because it is, and Its not always easy and its not always fun, but Gods doing crazy cool things in my life and its worth it.
