a little off topic (Brazil)



So this blog post is gonna be a little off normal topic. This blog post will be about my trip to Brazil. 
             I’m going to Brazil this summer… hopefully. I’ve learned a little bit more about my trip in the last few weeks. It looks like it will be the last two-weeks in May and the first week in June, or so. The plan so far is we will fly into Manaus, Brazil and then take a hammock boat for two to three days up the Amazon River. While we are on the boat we will be in contact with 75-200 people and we will be able to talk to them, get to know them, and witness to them. Then we will get to an interior community where we will work in groups along with two other missionaries where we will train local Christians on planting their own churches. We then will help disciple locals and just help them out spiritually and physically. Then we will spend a week in Manaus, a city of 2 million people, working with local churches, orphanages, schools teaching English, and possible construction and maintenance. There will be six students going, five guys and one girl, plus a professor here at OBU. So if you could be in prayer for all of us that would help out more than any of us, but God, could imagine.
            I’m am extremely excited for this trip, I am super excited to see God’s hand at work already. Many things have already been happening here in Shawnee that could only be explained by God. I hope you will join me in prayer and also consider donating money, because this could not happen without your support. Anything will help; it doesn’t have to be a big gift to help. One crazy fact I’ve already learned in school is that if ten families give ten present they can completely pay for a missionary family. (10% x 10 families = 100% for one family.) Now I don’t have a family and I’m not looking to be a full time missionary (at east for now), but that’s just how easy something we make so complicated could be.
            Thank you,
