Mother's day Celebration

Things are really happening in Lagoa De Itaenga, with the construction and services. There was a wonderful turnout for their Mother's day celebration. So glad that Frank Penna could be with them!

What a great worship team! We are also excited to announce that in May, Brandywine Community church has adopted Lagoa as a sister church and ministry--What amazing things does God have in store for these churches? 

Impact

Each January (Summer break in Brazil), a city is chosen to IMPACT. The Community churches get together for a time of training and the practical application on the streets of the chosen city. This January it is in Lagoa de Itaenga.

Through mime, street preaching, sports, and other creative ways, the people in Lagoa are being reached in mighty ways. 

The group is also doing work projects to help out, as well as receiving training on how to continue to impact each one of their respective churches and communities

Thank you for your prayers, especially for Lagoa during this time. There is great financial need for Living Stones in Lagoa, which currently has about $50 a month to function. They are going to be cutting back on what they are able to offer, and to what age group. Please pray about supporting this needed ministry. 

Lagoa Christmas

Lagoa had a wonderful Christmas program, where many of the children from Living Stones gave their presentation. 

We thank the Lord that Living Stones was able to being in August, and are excited to see what God has for us next year!

Opening the Community

 
Lagoa de Itaenga is a small community with a huge gang problem that has made it one of the most violent cities in the state of Pernambuco.

The church is perfectly located to reach out and make a difference. Right down the street is a children's home for displaced/troubled children. Soup is distributed a couple times a week, making sure immediate nutritional needs are met. 

Our literacy program is going well.

Even caught the boys reading Snow White.
