Prayers before our send off

Last night we had a send off dinner at Stone Fire Grill. It was so nice of everyone to come and to have some time to chat with all of our friends.

As favors we gave pictures from last years trip, prayer cards, and beans.

Below is the prayer card

In Brazil, Restoration Ministries focuses on bringing hope to children and their families living in the “favelas” (slums) of Sao Paulo. Most who live in the slums are plagued by hunger, disease and poverty, and are scarred by the devastating effects of prostitution, drugs, and domestic violence. Many families struggle to provide food for their families; often only eating beans or rice for many meals. We have included these beans as a reminder of what they struggle with on a daily basis and ask you to please keep these children in your prayers.
