Having a passion for God and a passion for surfing, Wagner, one of the guys from Oitão Preto decided to start a surfing school in the community. Fortaleza is a costal city, and Oitão Preto lies almost as close as you can get to the beach without being on the beach, and so surfing is naturally a very popular sport amongst young and old.
Not being one to wait around Wagner has managed to get sponsorship for the school, the school registered and it’s documentation in order, and is well on his way. It is so amazing to see how God is working in his life now he’s become a Christian, and also see how eager he is that the other kids get to learn about God also.
Every Friday we join with him to do Bible classes for around 40 young people. It’s amazing how God just keeps opening doors in the community, and more importantly is bringing opportunities for all kinds of different people to hear about Jesus.
Pray for:
--Wagner as he heads up the school- that he would have wisdom and integrity.
--Protection for the school and provision.
--Pray that as we reach young people with the Good News through this school, we can guide them away from a life of drugs and into Life in Christ, and get them linked with the local church.

Yes, what Wagner is doing is truly fantastic, especially considering where he's come from. Would you mind telling the readers about Wagner's testimony of how God has changed him? I think its really an encouraging story.
I met him while in Oitao Preto, and he's doing an admirable job. Serving the Lord in his community is hard, since there are so many obstacles. But our Lord is faithful and can provide Wagner with what he needs.
Thanks for putting up the prayer requests, and thanks again for the updates. I love that picture of Oitao Preto. Is that from someone's house? I remember a man named Francisco, and that view reminds me of the view I saw from his house.
