Outreach

So the time for outreach is fast approaching, so I though I would give you a bit of an update on what is going on with that.

We can start off with a HUGE thank you prayer. When we sent off our passports to the Brazilian embacy, there was a mix up somewhere and they all got sent to America! So we had a really big pray that God would come in and bring them back to us safely and quickly. The passports have now all been found and they are at the Brazilian and we are going to get our visa's (by we I am talking about the Americans and Canadians on the team, the Europeans didn't need a visa).

So here is our flight itinerary.

Toronto	Miami	27th June	13:40	16:50
Miami	Sao Paulo	27th June	21:20	6:30
Sao Paulo	Florian- Apolis	28th June	8:10	9:15
Florian- Apolis	Porto Alegre	28th June	9:45	10:40

Porto Alegre	Sao Paulo	19th June	19:20	21:10
Sao Paulo	Miami	19th June	22:45	5:55
Miami	toronto	20th June	9:40	12:50

Prayer requests:

• Safe Travel

• Easy changing on flights

• No lost baggage

• No air sickness

• Ease of keeping together

Then when we are in Brazil, we have draft schedule, but I have a feeling that it is all still very likely to change. However some things that we have planned are:

1. Visiting an orphanage

2. Working at youth centre for recovering drug addict teens, teaching them skills and working with them (we have at least 6 slots booked, two each week)

3. Possibly visiting a local hospital

4. An outreach to one of the local villages

5. We are also preaching almost every night!

Prayer requests:

• Open hearts for the people we talk to

• Ease of communication across the language barrier

• That we would stay open to what the holy spirit wants to do

• That we would grow in unity as a team

When we are in Brazil we will be staying in a church, on their floor. However, the only issue with this is that the church has no heating. Now this might not sound so bad, but we are in south Brazil and it is their wintertime, so it's going to be below freezing at night. The other thing about there being no heating is that we are going to have cold showers :S However we will be staying in a good safe area, we have shelter and running water, so that's a blessing.

Prayer requests:

• Patience & good coping (I love nice hot showers, so cold showers is going to be one of my big hurdles)

• Supernatural warmth at night.

• Good sleep even though we are sleeping on the floor.

So that's a bit of a breakdown of what we are doing on outreach and a few prayer requests that we have. Obviously there are more things that can be prayed for, so don't limit yourselves to what I have pointed out ;-)

I look forwards to telling you all about what happens
