Deze maand was een drukke maand, met Vida Nova hadden we een week een training/seminar georganiseerd. We ontvingen 3 mensen uit Amerika, 2 van YWAM, Living Alternatives, Tyler, TX die al zo´n 25 jaar met zwangere meiden, en adoptie werken, en iemand van een andere ministry op het zelfde gebied uit Austin, TX.

Het was een supergoede week waarin we veel geleerd hebben, en veel ideeën, visie en dromen hebben gekregen voor ons eigen werk hier. Omdat ik de leiding geef aan het project was ik er de hele week mee bezig, soms zelfs ook ´s avonds omdat we hen natuurlijk ook wat van de Braziliaanse cultuur moesten laten zien!!! Je kan meer lezen over deze week en meer foto´s op de blog van de ministry hier: http://vidanovafortaleza.blogspot.com. God heeft mij uitgedaagd om dit jaar de ministry in Amerika op te gaan zoeken om het werk met eigen ogen te kunnen zien. Alleen God om zulke dingen te  bedenken…..

Eind vorig jaar zijn we begonnen met het begeleiden van 2 zwangere meiden in de favela Oitão Preto, beiden zijn 15 jaar. D*** op deze  foto’s is inmiddels bevallen van haar 2e kindje.

In februari zullen we B*** helpen met het organiseren van een baby shower zodat ze wat spulletjes voor haar kindje kan verzamelen.

Efraim´s favoriet spel is de laatste tijd hutten bouwen. Met behulp van een aantal grote kussens, een tafeltje en een stoel vermaakt hij zich prima! Het grappige is dat hij dit helemaal zelf heeft verzonnen, best wel creatief! Verder tekenen we op een dag zo´n 100 autootjes want elk papiertje dat hij te pakken krijgt met een pen of potlood wordt ons in de handen gedrukt met het verzoek: “auto?”. Ook zijn inmiddels al vele aantekeningen boekjes en bv mijn agenda al voorzien van enige kunstwerken van Efraim….Hij is zelfs zo gek van auto´s dat er ook altijd een hele collectie mee moet naar bed toe zoals je kan zien:

Jander´s werk op de boerderij gaat ook gewoon door. Elke donderdag gaat hij naar een jeudggevangenis toe om te evangeliseren en met de jongens daar te praten. Elke vrijdag gaat hij met een team mee de straat op. Er gaat nu elke week een klein groepje DTS studenten mee. Deze foto is genomen met de kerstdagen, met de jongens op de beorderij waar Jander werkt.

Veel liefs en groetjes uit Brazilie!!!!!!

This month has been a very busy month. We organized a seminar at Vida Nova and received 3 teachers from the States, 2 people from the YWAM ministry Living Alternatives in Tyler Texas, whoe have had over 25 years of experience working with pregnant girls and adoption, and a teacher from anotherministry in Austin, TX.

 VIDANOVA

It was an amazing week in which we´ve learned so much, receiving many new ideas, vision and dreams for our ministry here. And because I´m leading the ministry I have bee busy with this the whole week, including the nights, as of course we also wanted to show the teachers a little bit of the Brazlian culture! You can read more about this week and the teachers on the ministry blog here http://vidanovafortaleza.blogspot.com God has challenged me to go over to the States to see the ministry there with my own eyes and putting my feet there to take possession of  it, only God to challenge us like that!!!!!DSCF4196

The end of last year we started coaching 2 pregnant girls of 15 years in the favela Oitão Preto. D*** on this picture has give birth this month to her second child.DSCF4112

In february we will help the other girl B *** to organize a babyshower so that she will be able to receive some things for her baby that is due in March.

Efraim´s favorite game has been building houses lately. Using some big pillows, a table and a chair he can play a long time! The funny thing is that he figured this out all by himself! Also we are drawing an average of 100 cars a day, beacuse each scratch of paper that he can get a hold of with a pensil or pen, he gives to us with the request: “auto?” (=car in dutch). So now we also have many notebooks and even my agenda with some nice pieces of artwork signed by Efraim…….he loves cars so much he also takes a whole collection to his bed to sleep with him as you can see here:

Jander´s work on the farm is also continuing. Every Thursday he goes to the youthprison to evangelize and talk with the boys there and every Friday he goes to the streets with a team, also a small team of DTS students is going along with them now. This picture was taken at Christmas with the boys of the farm where Jander works.

Este mês foi um mês bastante cheio. Nós de Vida Nova organizamos um seminário e recebemos 3 professoras dos EUA, 2 pessoas de um ministério em Tyler, Texas que já trabalha mais de 25 anos com meninas grávidas e adoção e uma outra professora de outro ministério em Austin, TX.

DSCF4196

Foi uma semana maravilho em que recebemos muitas novas idéias, visão e sonhos para nosso trabalho aqui. E porque eu estou liderando este ministério aqui fiquei muito ocupada com esta semana, inclusive as noites porque logicamente a gente queria também mostrar um pouco da cultura do Brazil!!! Você pode ler mais sobre esta semana e as professoras no blog do ministério aqui: http://vidanovafortaleza.blogspot.com. Deus tem me desafiado para ir para os Estados Unidos este ano ainda para poder ver o minisério lá com meus prórpios olhos, pisar lá e tomar posse, só Deus mesmo!!!! VIDANOVA

No final do ano passado começamos o acompanhamento de duas meninas grávidas na favela de Oitão Preto, as duas tem 15 anos. D*** que você pode ver na foto já teve o seu segundo filho neste mês passado de janeiro.

Em Fvereiro vamos ajudar a outra menina B*** para organizar um chá de bebê para que ela pode receber alguns itens para o enxoval de seu filho que vai nascer em Março.

A brincadeira favorita de Efraim ultimamente é a construção de casas. Usando umas almofadas grandes, uma mesa e cadeira ele se diverte um bom tempo. Engraçado é que ele inventou isto totamente sozinho! Também desenhamos diáriamente uma média de 100 carrinhos, já que cada pedaçinho de papel que ele consegue encontrar com um lápis ou caneta, ele nos entrega com o pedido: “auto?” (= carro em holandês). Também temos muitos cardernos e até minha agenda ja cheios com obras de arte de Efraim…. ele gosta tanto de carros que ele até leva para dormir como pode ver aqui:

O trabalho de Ja der no sitio também continua. Cada 5a feira ele vai para o febem para evangelismo e falar com os meninos. Cada 6a feira ele faz abordagem de rua com uma equipe, agora também alguns alunos da ETED vem juntos. Esta foto foi tirada na festa de natal no sitio com os meninos no sitio.
