Reaching 6,000 per Week

Last evening we shut down our small groups and assembled at the church for a mission presentation. Maria Gusmao, from BCM International, gave a fascinating talk on her work with the street kids of Brasil. What an amazing evening! It started with Maria giving a monologue, playing the role of a little boy living in an abusive situation and his utlimate conversion to Christ. Then she gave a presentation of the ministry.

Currently, Maria and her staff are allowed to teach Bible clubs in the public schools. These clubs, and the clubs they run in the slums of Recife reach 6,000 kids per week! Also, she takes about 150 street kids to camp every summer. There they learn of Christ, make decisions for Him, and also learn that they are loved by Maria and the counselors.

Take time to explore the BCM website, http://www.bcmintl.org/. Also join us in prayer for Maria and these children. Also one other prayer request - I would love to see Wakefield put together a team to assist Maria at her camp. I am certain they could use the help, but more importantly it would be a life changing two weeks for us.
