Camp 2009–
Brazil is known for its great soccer players, the Amazon jungle and Carnaval! Brazilian Carnaval (from latin “goodbye to the flesh”) is compared to the Mardi Gras in New Orleans…except it is a nationwide holiday. It begins on Friday and ends at noon on Ash Wednesday. There is much reveling and debauchery but not everyone participates. In order to give our young people and families an option, we try and have a camp.

This year, the three Good News Churches in the Campinas region held their 8th annual camp. Since it is summer here, it is a great time for camp. A small facility was rented that had a nice pool and an indispensable sand soccer court. The highlights of camp were the three who were baptized and 10 young people (pics below)who gave their hearts to Jesus as Lord and Savior! On the last day no one wanted to leave, God was honored and His people blessed!
Thanks for your prayers and financial support that have helped support church plants like these. To see how to support Project Good News Brazil, click here!

Please pray for safe travels for all the pastors and leaders. Pray for a blessed time of renewal, fellowship and thanksgiving to God for ten years of laying the foundation for our Good News Conference. To God be the Glory!!
