| On a farm outside Itabarito, outside Belo Horizonte, outside Rio de Janerio, Brazil, a about ten years ago something special began to grow. A lady got a dream from her God. He showed her children from the streets coming in their droves to their farm to a have a good time and learn stuff about life and Him. After a lot of discussion with her God and her husband the time came to sell the farm. Morven and Fabio bought their farm having received 36000 pounds in the space of a week from people who they hadn´t even asked for money. Then they, with a team from an outdoor adventure centre in Scotland built an adventure centre. Yesterday the second group of kids ever to visit left. The lady´s dream is beginning to be fulfilled. The name of the farm, isn´t even cheesy because it was always called that even before the vision (in the hearts of men) to give the street kids of Brazil a New Destiny. We´ve been working on the farm for a week now. Building fences, digging weeds, building football goals and lots of other stuff. Then over the weekend we were helping out in our own Portugueseless way. It´s an amazing place. So peaceful, with such good food. Lucia and I´s old pastor, Ted, is the cook. Along with his wife Deidre, Morven, Fabio, Little baby Angus (sudden excitement about being a dad, kind of overflowing), Romeo, Fred, Rory and others have made us so welcome. It´s a good place to be and there is a lot we can give. And they have a pool. If you feel like praying, pray for this place, pray for the kids. Pray for breakthrough in their lives. That they would come to know the God who loves them, when everyone else rejects them. We know God loves this place, because He built it and dreamed it, so He definately wants to use it. Lets ask Him together. |
