Oregon Team that spent 10 days serving with us.
Planning is always good, it gives us fuel and goals to reach, it moves us to pray even more.
And we have reasons for planning on these coming months.
Since the beginning of the year, we’ve been visiting 2 teenage girls at a kids Foundation, from the government, that works like a prison and also recovery, these girls were on crack and living in the streets of downtown Sao Paulo, it’s been a while since we from Toque have been discussing about the need of visiting the girls when they are under arrest, it’s easier to build a friendship with them when they are not on drugs, and out of the street environment.
On our first visit to the prison, the main Coordinator asked us if we were willing to start a weekly program with the girls, only with the girls who were hanging around the central area of the city, the ones we’ve been in contact for a long time.
We are very excited with this opportunity, we believe it’s a door the Lord is opening, and so our kids can be rescued and loved.
.
Our goal is to give a better attention to the girls, so after the season they spend at this kids prison, they won’t return to the streets anymore.
The treatment the girls are receiving at the foundation is very good, one more reason we want to keep in touch with the girls so all this work won’t be lost when they leave.
We are going to present our project to the Coordinator maybe this week, pray that God will give us wisdom and fresh insight of what He wants to speak into these girls lives.
Even though this Foundation is governmental, they are open for us to bring the gospel, so we don’t want to miss the opportunity.
Our Idea is to bring beauty treatments, bible study focusing on purpose and value in Christ, including some time talking and counseling them, if you have some more ideas, feel free to tell us.
Two weeks ago, a team of 5 lovely ladies came down from Oregon USA, to serve with us here at Toque, it was a refreshing and blessed time to have them being part of our family for 10 days.
Last year another team from their church came to serve also, and had also become great friends and supporters of our ministry.
We thank you and love you all!!
