We had many good parties over Christmas in Oitão Preto for the various groups we have with the people there. With the men we played football at Gerardo Bastos (a company one block away from the project which works with car repairs and has a football pitch they let us use) followed by hot dogs and a powerful testimony from our staff member Fabiano. We saw about 30 of them come, many drug dealers which was good.
We also did parties for the children and the women who are involved in our project to set up micro businesses to enable them to support their families.
We are in the process of trying to rent a house in the community to run courses and have our activities in. As usual with these things, it’s a battle. But we believe that God is in control and we know that being there, as a light physically situated in the community, will have a huge impact on everyone living there and all the activities that go on there.
Please stand with us in prayer:

Please stand with us in prayer:
- pray that we can get the house in the community
- pray for Andrew and Claudia as they head up the work in Oitão Preto
- pray for the work with the children, women, and men
- pray also for the farm, for God to be with the staff and boys and that they can daily grow in the knowledge of God
- pray for the city centre work, that God would open doors and guide the work
- pray for structure for the prison ministry, that the Truth would set these young boys free.
