The October Team is leaving today (Thursday, Oct. 6)!A part
of MAD Ministry's work is regular trips to spend
time with the kids. This time is so valuable because we get a chance
to share our lives and our hearts with the children that we are serving.
The team will have a very busy schedule that includes the children at the
Community Center, their siblings in the villa, the children at the trash
dump, and many, many schools.
Please pray for them. Pray that they stay healthy,
safe and that God will do some cool stuff with them.
Check back daily. I will include updates and pictures as often as I
get them!
Update (Sat. Oct 8, 2005)
The team missed their flight in Sao Paulo so they spent the night at a
hotel and will head to Recife at 6:15 tonight. They will arrive at
10:30 PM and take the 4 hour bus trip to Campina and begin ministry in
the morning at 8:00 AM.
Adam is eating everything that doesn't move...he doesn't want to miss
anything that he hasn't tasted before. Today he had pigs' feet, pigs'
tongue, pigs' ear, pigs' tail and pigs' ... you get the idea. He was
quite the little taster (well, not really little).
Amber and Stacey have had a little touch of stomach ache but both seem
to be doing better. Terry has been teaching the Brazilians how to speak
Portuguese - as usual :-).
The team all went for a walk in downtown Sao Paulo today. They had
fun but there was not much to see. They did find an ice cream cooler
and all had kibon : ).
Please keep the team in your prayers as they travel all night and hit the
ground running on Sunday morning!
Making A Difference...one life at a time.
