Our team moved on March 24 to Ninos de la Luz, an organization that works with boys from the streets of Caracas. We live on a farm with the boys, helping with various farm things including chickens, eggs, bananas, and cutting stuff with machetes. We are also teaching reading, math, and writing to five of the boys who are not yet ready to enter the school system. Besides these things, we play sports with the kids, go swimming, and assist the staff when we can. It’s like camp expect more staff than kids, for good reason. We are enjoying the work here and the cooler temperatures. We’ve even had to wear sweatshirts on occasion.
We would like your prayers for the following…
-When we leave the farm in May, two of the girls on our team are in need of host families
-In May, we are tentatively planning to renew our visas in Brazil. The country is requiring a lot of things, and it is a 30 hour drive just to the border.
-At the end of May, we will again be moving to a different part of the country, the state of Amazonas. We will be living and working with indigenous populations there and living with host families. Pray for safety and God’s protection as we live and work across the river from Columbia
