"I could talk about love...."

Another week here in Natal and the spirit continues to move in and through us in all that we are doing. 
(this blog is going to be a little bit shorter as I don't have much time to write it)

This week we had our first real day in our new school "Maia Neto" which was fantastic. Another great chance to show God's love to students and the great thing is how close it is to the church. It means that it is a lot easier for them to come to us in cell groups and in the services. 

As there was another holiday this week for voting (again!) we had our day in Floca on Thursday and then had a day out with the guys from Floca on Friday. It was fantastic to just chill with the guys at the park and have some fun slacklining and playing games. There was about 30 students who turned up. Ramin asked near the end if anyone wanted to speak so I said "I could speak on love...". Was able to talk about how God has changed me here not through huge miracles of vast change but the gradual melting of a hard heart that is LOVE. That love is who God is and it is what he is for them. The guys seemed to "hear" it so that was awesome. 

Also had a chance to leader worship again.... this week in Portuguese! Was a new challenge but loved it and hopefully will be able to pray more in the future. 

In terms of last weeks prayer, thank you soo much. I went to the federal Police to renew my visa and was in and out in about 30min with my visa sorted, which was fantastic! So please pray for praise for that. 

Please pray this week for the schools that we go into. For Maia Neto and Floca. That we may be able to connect more kids to the church and properly start mentoring so that they can see what "the walk" really looks like.
