Last Prayer Request Update!

Hello Friends! Updates from my last prayer requests post!
Hip Hop Events: We had couple events with our hip hop group and brother Jack from SAC. Two of those events were secular and they invited us, Christians, to join them, we were free to share the gospel and we did. At one of them, most of the famous national wide knowned rappers were on stage and they payed very careful attention when Jack shared. People appreciated our hip hop group, reconizing their music. Recently our group added couple new people and decided to change their vision, they want to go outside of the church walls and reach out people out there through hip hop.  It was their first event outside of church, and they did very good, their lyrics really talks about the reality their public goes through and brings the answer..Jesus! Please keep pray for them, they are called "Cartel SP".
Hip hop is one of the languages within culture of the people we work with. It´s part of their being, their stories, what a blessing be able to use what is part of them to tell them who they are, who they belong to and what they are on Earth for: to praise God! We have used this music style as a tool to do missions, to take the gospel through a language they can hear and understand very well!
Christmas Sharing: Thanks for your prayers!!! We have gotten sponsors to give a Christmas gift for 416 children!  Now, we have to get all of those gifts and organize ourselves to pass them out in three Christmas celebrations in different communities we work with. Our church and a partner church ISP - "Chinese Church" are working together to have a big celebration with them. A short team from Corvallis - OR is coming to help us out!
Usually, where our kids live, Christmas means time to get the family together, to have fun and get drunk. We want to have kids sitting at a beautiful Christmas table and have a meal with loving christians sharing a special moment, have a small discussion on the table about Christmas real meaning and after they are done get their gifts! Please, pray for the organization those 3 big outreaches, for the people and kids involved, for energy and everything go smooth!

God bless you! Tati

Prayers Request...

It´s been a while I don´t post anything...I´ve been very busy with so much going on...I tend to post just big things and send newsletters...but a friend of mine told me I should post day by day stuff so people know what is going on and know how to pray!

Well...here it goes a little of what is going on...Getting ready for Christmas, I´m leading the event "Christmas Sharing", finding 470 sponsors to give a pair of shoes, clothing and a toy for each one of the kids. I´m working with a group of 4 people from our church and a partner church, plus all the people who are helping each one of us, promoting this. Last year some American brothers joined us on this event, it was a blessing but this time, for several reasons and to amke easy for us, we are doing this with Brazilian people. But you can help us on prayers! Please pray to find each sponsor, pray as well for them, many aren´t christians and we are sharing Jesus with them through this. Also for us don´t worry and get stressed, to totally lean on God!

As you might know, I´m dating Wellington Barros.  We know each other for a long time, and we are looking forward to build a new family where Jesus is the center! Please join with us on prayers!

Hip Hop events..we will have 3 big events related to Hip Hop, (Nov 15, 18 and 19th) a north american brother, who is rapper is coming down to joing us, Jack. Him, our choir and our hip hop band will be performing. All of those involve evangelism and many youth from our church are getting read for this. Pastor William and Pastor Heider are leading the evangelism team.

This is the card we are giving to each sponsor with the picture of the child they are blessing!!!

We celebrated one month dating at MC Donalds! We were so exhausted (and starving) after a full day under hot sun (80F and dry) taking kids pictures for Christmas that MC Donalds was the closest and fastest place!

Thanks a lot for your prayers and support!! I will keep you posted through my blog about those events!!!
