Thanks be to God! On Friday, VFC closed the deal on purchasing a permanent building for Kid's Place ministry in Recife. Kid's Place is a yellow building on the right in the background. There will be lots more to share about how this acquisition will expand the VFC ministry after this trip, but in the meantime, check out our whole group who went into the favelas to tour the location and see the new site this afternoon.

Praise the Lord!!! that you made it, that the luggage made it, and that the building acquisition closed. The Burdine family (yes, all 5 of us) are praying for you. Wish we could be there with you. Love on Lecio, Ilma & Lianna for us. Oh and Darril and Marie too. We can't wait to hear about the amazing things God is doing through all of you in Brazil.

Eryn and all,
We had also heard about the delays (and pigeons?) in Sao Paulo, so we were very happy to hear you made it safely, even if you were delayed a bit! We love you and are praying for the Brazilians and all of you!!
Praising God for this Blog, too, it's great to hear news.

Medley girls,
We are praying for you! Can't wait to hear about all the amazing things God has planned while you're there!
Wow! Great news about the recent building acquisition. I know God is going to do some really incredible things in the yaars ahead through that simply facility. We all miss you and were excited to hear you made it safely. I was manning the information desk on Sunday and I can't tell you how many people asked about each of you. They were very anxious to know that you had arrived safely. While I assured them that I was certain all was well, now I can tell them without any doubt, because I saw your group picture!
We are praying for you and asking God to transform each of your lives during the days you have there together. I know you will grow tired, but do not grow weary in doing good (2 Thessalonians 3:13).
In Him,
Ken Miller
Praying for everyone serving in Brazil
We are praying for everyone that is serving our Lord in Brazil. We are thankful that everyone arrived safely and will now get to love on the women and children of Brazil and share the Good News of Christ. May the Lord change the hearts of all those serving and all the people in Brazil being served. I know He has amazing things planned for this week. We will continue praying for you!!!
Love,

To the "northern" contingent:) - we are praying that you allow the Lord to work through you this week. Trust Him to give you the strength, the courage, and the words -- To Him be the glory!
Hey to Megan and Toni Meadows from the JAL Ranch!
