With JESUS OF COURSE! I just end the day sometimes just asking God for more of him. More heavy revy of his love, his character, his presence, more of who he is in my life. Everything is rubbish compared to knowing Christ Jesus. Paul's famous words. Don't get me wrong I want the fullness of everything God has for me. I want his purpose and plan for my life ect but it has to come from a place of intimacy with Jesus. I'm beginning to learn that when I focus on other things, even like "what's Gods purpose for my life" or what does he want me to do after YWAM. When things like this turn into worrying or anxiety it steals the joy and the moment that God want to me to be in right now.
Back to this week!
Boys club was the first two days. 7 boys who were taken off the streets of Belem and put in a home. Btw Amazing organization named Arca. Please be praying for the staff! Full time missionaries who devote their lives to street kids:) got to love on the kids playing games, soccer, river swimming ect and devotional time in the mornings and evenings. I was instantly drawn to one kid named Ezekiel. Crazy crazy past. He 16 years old( oldest of the group) and really felt him being a leader to the other boys. Never done it before but challenge him to lead out the last evening devotional time. He did amazing. Filled with he HS crying and really was amazing to see God work in such a short time we were there. He is defiantly a leader to the younger ones.. These last two days we walked around the streets of Belem. Searching for street kids to bring in and give food, shower, games, show some love. Perspective rocked these past few days. God goes out of his way, he searches for us, intercedes for us, has fun with us, playing games or whatever we want to do with us. We got to have a taste of something Jesus does for us. Passed out bibles, prayed for homeless guys to see Gods love for them..but on the other side I also personally saw little kids sniffing glue, knife fight almost break out right in front of my eyes. Open my eyes to this world and the addictions we are still enslaved to. I just couldn't get it out of my head. "What makes their addictions any different than ours" our addictions are money, fame,.status. It's all about me me me and not on God. Both ways our eyes are sucked into worldly desires and not on Gods eyes. But what really changes ppl perspective... What really give hope? Jesus. The only answer to all our problems. I think of my life an the last year or so. What made me changed my perspective from living apart of this worldly pattern( seeking popularity, money, status in other ppl eyes) to now giving my whole life for God.And whatever he wants I will do. Here I am send me. Be my everything. It all started with seeing Jesus. Not a religion jesus but seeing the relationship Jesus. A relationship he invites all of us in to will CHANGE LIVES. And that's the heavy revy I got this week. No matter what anyone is in. Not matter homeless, no matter how deep in addiction ppl are to worldly things... revealing the intimate relationship Jesus has for everyone changes everything! He is our daddy that never leaves us and always takes care of us. Thank for reading. Love all my supporters and everyone reading. Still have a couple more river communities were planning. So please be praying for my team and I:)

Important tips
Tip number one! Don't pee in the amazon river. Serious scary business. Why do these creatures even exist! If you don't know what I'm talking about.. Google it. Lol
Kinda last minute blog but in bed, hours before I leave for two weeks to go to the amazon rainforest and immerse as a life of a villager.
Just telling you about my weeks here has been Kinda weird. these last few days.. There's this idol worshipping that goes on in Belem Brazil. And we live exactly on the street where they trek through worshipping this doll. And it's not just a little thing. This is millions of ppl. Biggest idol worshipping in the world and its this goes one week out of the year and it so happens that's when we're here! He would go out with water, food, tracks, and the love of Jesus. We would just love on them and share the good news. Brazil is so ready for Jesus. We would talk hours on the streets just hanging and sharing and letting God do the rest...
And this brings me to what I learned here. I would ask and ask God why did you place us here.? Out of all the weeks and out of all of brazil. why did we end up living on the street that they walk through.
God just want us to be obedient and fully give all of us at the place where we are placed.and even when its difficult to see the good, especially in a place where the MAJORITY of the ppl are worshipping this doll just remember that Gods in control. I was reminded that there are seed planters. And there is times were it doesn't look pretty. It doesn't look like we are doing anything here. But God told me this week I placed you here in the middle of this junk to plant seed in ppl hearts. And that exactly what we did. Heavy revy when we realize its our job to be obedient to step out boldly wherever he placed us. That's it. God does the rest and he shows up and blows up the place! Like he always does.Well during this last week we served the ppl like I mentioned. Not only with food water but also with medical checkups. Had some amazing talks with ppl and sooo many ppl interested. Asking questions, getting our phone numbers to meet up, asking us to speak at there university more on missions. Ect. God is faithful. Can't wait to be apart of the work that God is doing in the village communities. Thanks for reading. Love my supporters and ill be out for two weeks but back blowing y'all up with amazing things. Please be praying for my team.

Speak da truth
Yesterday, I preached for the first time in front of a church. The stage was all mine. All eyes were in front of me. It was something I don't really like or not really use to. Something I would probably be terrified to do. BUT when God gives you a word to share and gives you the courage to speak... It becomes fun. It's not me speaking anymore but the power of Jesus just speaking through me. It's just what I needed along with just what that particular church needed that day..
So since we have been here. Probably 5 days out of the week we have been preaching / testimonies at various churches... I have gave me testimony a couple times but never really felt to preach yet but yesterday morning in my quiet time. God directed me to James 1... As I stated reading it, it hit a spot in my heart and new it was my day to preach. James 1 is about rejoicing in ALL circumstances and we really went deep into James and it was an amazing time and I left that church really feeling Gods presence so evident. The Lord is so good to me. Later, I found out that the pastor canceled the speaker after me because he wanted the church to leave that night soaking and thinking about what God spoke that night. He said it was the exact problem that, that particular church is having problems with. I love being obedient. God I am your follower. Take me into the darkest and roughest places that need to hear the love of Jesus and I will be obedient to step out.
Thank y'all for reading. My supporters are amazing. I pray for David courage for all. Lets look into the face of worldly giants and say my God is bigger than you and I chose to look at Him instead of my circumstances.
