Revival.

We apologise for the lack of posts this trip, we've had very little internet connection. Time has also been short with our tight schedule. We are very greatful for your prayers. It is truely amazing how God works through our friends and family.
Tonight (Thursday) was the last full day of camp. Although it is heartbreaking, it is comforting knowing that 167 kids were loved, fed, encouraged, and safe this week. Their heavy, hard hearts were softened and color truely started to come back to their faces. 2/3 of the population of the kids at camp came to know Christ as their Lord and Savior tonight. Many were on their faces, crying, or singing to the loudest of the their ability. It was truely a beautiful sight. This trip has not only changed these kids lives, but has transformed ours. No matter how many times we go on this trip, the outcome always varies, and the discipline God has in store for us is always unique and different.
Again, thank you for your prayers. We cannot wait to post pictures, videos, and testimonies once we have found the time. I hope everyone is well, and again, continue to pray for us. Tomorrow (Friday) is the last day of camp. We pray that God leaves His mark on those childrens hearts. Not only a mark, but a sincere transformation.

Thank you all for persevering and finishing the race. The eternal fruit you have produced this week will bless you and those you came to serve forever. We are praying for a good team meeting tonight on the beach and for some much needed rest Saturday for the return trip and for perfect safety for each of you as you journey home. Em & Parker, I can't wait to hear about your experience. My arms ache to hug you all and we can't wait to see you!! Very much love, B,B,B & GM

Sounds like you guys have had a great impact on all the children in that area and we will be praying that the local church will seize on this momentum to grow these seeds of faith. Enjoy your time in Brazil, finish with excellence, and do not be shy about sharing your faith. Love on your interpretters, VFC's missionaries, and all the nationals who have served you during this week. In Him, Brandon
