Home Sweet Home!

Well everyone we are home. Our trip home yesterday was pretty uneventful other than several uncomfortable wand body searches and bag invasions through security in Recife Airport and a run through the halls of Miami Airport when the screen said one gate and the attendants telling us another. But, everyone made it home on time at 11 pm last evening. It was a wonderful reunion with husbands, boyfriends, parents and of course Pam's dogs and Krystal's dog. It was great to meet those we had been hearing about and to hug and say good bye. When I left Marianna and Megan couldn't find their bags, I am praying they are safe and sound!

To everyone that prayed for us and sent comments we are eternally grateful. We have come back on fire spiritually, changed internally for His work and with much growth of heart. We love you so much and could not have survived some of the sights and smells of poverty without you going before us. We love these women, their children, their families, the missionaries and the interpreters. Praise God for the body of Christ working together to add a little bit of joy to a hard, simple existence. No woman had ever had a pedicure or manicure before that I spoke with. Many had never heard about a relationship with Christ, few new of hope for tomorrow and finding joy in their hard way of living. They could see the joy that we carry and feel the love that God offers. Praise God that we had the honor of sharing His name to these people.

We would appreciate continued prayers for the people; open eyes, softened hearts and transformation of the village and fovela not only spiritually but physically and emotionally as well. Pray for financial support for the mission teams and for the missions. Pray for the growth of the ministy and more volunteers and mission groups. Pray for an additional 1.5 million dollars plus for the building of a campground that can be used for years to come. Pray for your own possible involvement in this ministry whether it just be lifting people up in prayer, providing a monthly contribution or traveling their yourself to see what God is doing! I will be going again.

We thank our God for you and we Praise our God for our journey. We know he will continue our work. We will be honestly searching our souls over what we saw and what we did and what we can do about it; so pray for God's thoughts to infiltrate our spirits and show us the way.

In Christ,

2010 Women's Brazil Team!
