Hey Guys!
As usual we always take a "while" to update our blog, we are working to improve our communication. Thank you for your patience. We were back on our activities on the first week of January, the street outreach has been very good, Joyce from Piracicaba spent the month of January with us here in São Paulo and had the opportunity to teach how to make chocolate truffles and Easter eggs to the women who are in prostitution, there was even a transvestite who joined us in one of our classes, wich where held every Tuesday of January.
A woman from one of the brothels was in all classes, she is very excited to get out of prostitution and is very interested about the truffles, her plan is to go back to her city and work selling truffles and Easter eggs. Pray that above all she will have real encounter with Jesus.
On days 26.27 and 28 we did a Summer Bible School for children who live at a squatter in bad conditions at the red light district. And on the 28th we did the summer Bible School with the street children. Our friend Ricco with his team's Expedition Backpack, organized an afternoon of games and Bible study for the children, we had so much fun with the kids and learned heaps with Ricco and his team.
We are still giving English classes to the girls in prostitution, it’s a tool to get closer to them,restore their dignity and build a relationship with them, since last year Fernanda has been giving classes to one of the pimps, its been such a great opportunity to spend time with her and show her God’s love, we believe that only the Holy Spirit is able to break her heart so she will surrender to God and change her lifestyle completely, as she earns a lot of money, and has no schooling, so giving up her job…means a vey humble lifestyle.
The great thing is that she says that this time she spends here with us at home, is a refreshing time, where she is away from the madness of the brothel.
I have just received a phone call from another lady who is a pimp at the brothel also, and two girls who works at her apartment wants to have English classes, they are starting next Tuesday morning.
