Brazil update
I woke up this morning to a phone call, asking me if the basement was wet: places were flooding. Yes, it was. And all my projects and papers laid out carefully on the floor? a mess.
It is flooding in Northeast Brazil as well. Paudalho, the town with Living Stones, has a river running through it which has risen to cover the bridge that connects the town, as well as flooding out fifty homes. Most of these people are poorer, some are the families of the children in the Living Stones program.
The families are living and sleeping on the floor of a public school, with no resources to rebuild or repair. If you would like to give to these families, please send checks to
World Renewal Intl.
P.O. Box 399
Greenfield, IN 46140with a note to “Living Stones: Flood victims in Paudalho”
or online at http://wribrazil.com/livingstones.html
As you see the rain today, say a prayer for those who do not have.
PS: Go Brazil in the World Cup! and please pray as they celebrate Sao Joao tomorrow (and through the weekend). Celebrations can be wonderful in Brazil, but not for everyone, especially those who use the time in drinking, drugs, and prostitution.
