News from the week

This was an exciting week, last Thursday we had the transvestites dinner, it was such a great time, Mission CENA is having a urban missions school every Saturday afternoon and their students organized the dinner, 13 transvestites showed up, they stayed for 2 hours chatting with the students, they were very comfortable and it seemed they didn’t want to leave. We had a short word and live music playing.

We are also very happy with Edinadia, she is a girl who’s been on the streets since she was very little, a few weeks ago she told us she wanted to go to the rehab farm, she was excited about going and starting a new life with Jesus, so this Tuesday the missionaries from Mission Cena were waiting for her to arrive because they had a opening at the farm for her, and she was supposed to go on that Tuesday.

She didn’t show up, we from Toque went as usual to the crack land to do the first aid on people, when we got there, the first person we saw was her. We talked to her about the opening and the opportunity she was missing if she didn’t go to the farm, but she was so craving for the drug that she wouldn’t listen to us, nothing we were telling her seemed to make a difference, she was going for the crack
.
We went back to Missão Cena and Lilian and Daniele ( Cena´s missionaries), insited to go back to talk to Edinadia one more time. So we went back running because the bus to the farm was going to leave soon, we found her with some other girls, Lilian said: Hey, what are you doing here? This is your day, come!

Edinadia at the same time stood up and came with us, she not even said good bye to the girls she was with. On the way to Cena she threw all her drugs away, and all the things that would remind her of the streets, it was totally the Lord working in that moment.
After much running she made it to the bus and the farm. Yei!

She will spend around 9 months there, and we know it will be a difficult time of changes for her, so please join us in prayer that she will remain at the farm and complete her treatment.

Praise the Lord for all He has done and is doing!!
