Three weeks to go

Has been another glorious week doing what I love doing with a bunch of people I love. It's only a little less than three weeks to go now, until I head home for Christmas. It's crazy how time has gone so quickly and how much has actually happened in these last few months. 

Just want to say thanks to everyone whose been reading the blogs, watching the videos and keeping updated on the facebook group. It's really encouraging to hear of the support of the the people at home and your prayers are making a huge difference here in my life and in the lives of the kids we are reaching. 

Was another normal week here so I'll not update you guys as much this week. Headed to Maia Neto on Tuesday and did some administration on Wednesday and Thursday. We also did some painting in the church this week as there is a large space at the back of the church that we will be able to use to make our own youth/teen service for connecting the guys from the schools to the church. Was good fun to be doing something practical again.

Pais team getting practical



This week I was trying to just practice the presence of God in Floca when we had the morning class and in the afternoon. Was great just to be opening the holy spirit's prompting and guidance in conversation. Received some "words" (words from God) and was able to talk to open the bible with some guys and try and lead them closer to who Jesus really is and how much he really loves them. 

I've attached a link to the newsletter for this month made by our teams very own Jared Barber. It is a really good quality catch up about what we're really doing here and in how God's moving so I would really encourage you to take a read at it.

For anyone whose reading the blogs and would like to find out more about the Pais Project, whether it's potentially coming on a Gap year with them here in Brazil or in any of the other countries that they are based or supporting the organisation financially please contact me at markwells112@hotmail.com or visit www.paisproject.com . I would be more than happy to tell you a little bit more about. 

Obrigado de nova meu amados 
Deus te abencoe
