Marlie Nelson's Habitat Brazil thoughts

On June 20 a team of Bethlehem members and friends traveled to Sao Paolo, Brazil to help families fulfill their dream of having a home with running water and electricity. As they live out God's call to "serve with the strength God provides" (1 Peter 4) and to put our faith into action, we ask for your prayers for the families and the Bethlehem team.
bom día, we arrived safely in Brazil, the 11 of us, exhausted, full of anticipation. It is the 20th of June 2008. Each of us brings along our own expectations or no expectations at all.
Although we don't all know one another we share a common goal: to build sturdy, straight, dry, dignified, simple brick homes for our brothers and sisters in the land of the Southern Cross.

What a week we had at VBS! Bethlehem turned into "Power Lab," complete with science experiments and amazing service projects. We sang our hearts out, ran ‘til we dropped,' invited friends, and learned some great stories from the Bible. Thanks to all who made it happen, the...crew Leaders, station leaders, and assistants, decorating team, youth band and A/V techies, hospitality folks and photographers, snack servers, nursery crew, clean-up team, members who donated or lent supplies and decorations or said a prayer, kids and parents who brought them! Thanks for helping to nurture the faith of kids! Here's the week in pictures.
