This is Children’s dream night. i am not exactly sure what it was to be, but we all came as different characters. L to R: Carlao and Kezia (as Red Riding hood and the wolf), Raquel, Johnny (as a painter), Lindsay (as supergirl), Alyssa and Renata (as little kids), Me (a cook), Mark (as superbaby), and David (as a doctor).
This was the last night–Cinderello night–yep, Cinderello. It was when all the guys had to take off their shoe and it was given to a girl as they came in. the girl then had to get them their food and stuff. it was fun. Jeff and Linsday were the king and queen, and they crowned Anselmo (in my morning class) and his wife the new king and queen. I got Carlos’ shoe. Check out the decor…
We have been practicing mime–and it is 16 minutes long with only five of us. We practiced and finally did it on Friday night. The make-up is impossible to put on and take off! It went well, although it is outside my comfort zone and took 110% of my energy…i pray the Lord used it. This is the end, where we are saved and praising Jesus.
At the end of the last night, we had a time where you could come forward and make a commitment between you and Christ–and “Ebenezer” stone. Many went forward, and the Lord was there. This was my favorite part last year as i had no idea what the candle stood for, but i knew God was calling me forward and i also knew that i wanted more than anything to put my candle next to the candles of my Brasilian brothers and sisters. The body of Christ. Unity. Power. This was the band…i am sitting in the window because they were singing a Portuguese song at the moment.
so many pictures to choose from! this is just everyone surrounding the fooseball table…this table is SOOO old…yikes. and we use a golf ball for it. but they love it and i must say, things get alittle tense sometimes with the competition!:)
this picture was taken one night after the meeting as we were talking and eating hamburgers. L to R: (back row) ?, Neto, Mark (he wrote “Mark” on his forhead for everyone to remember him…and they sure remembered!), Diego, Kel (who came to camp last year and i have been praying for him since) (front row) Filephe, Ana Maria, and David (yikes he looks possessed!)

Rachel, It looks like everyone had an awesome time and I’m glad the Lord’s working through your ministry in Brazil. God bless, Corey
heheehe…
It’s soo weird to be soo far away…. anyway you’re in our prayers as you set out on this journey this year! I just know God is going to be working through you, in you, and on you while you’re there!!
