God has given us many opportunities to serve Him...

Dear friends! 

God has given us many opportunities to serve Him, helping those affected by rain and landslides.

Two days ago we delivered more clothes, water and food in  
Damião Friar neighborhoods in Palhoça and also started the evaluation of the houses that need to be reformed or rebuilt. Throughout the week we gathered teams to go to Ilhota region.

Our main goal is to visit the families homeless checking their needs of food, medicines, water or other things that we can check the real situation. Our major go is to visit the families to meet the real situation

We are also supporting the Civil Defense in the distribution of food to shelters and for the seven Advanced Distribution posts with the cars that we take

Every day we have to deal with the emotion of the volunteers in front of so many stories.

Two days ago Vilma and Maria José found in a shelter a mother who, with tears in her eyes, told her history and her losses, but stated that the most difficult thing when his son was repeatedly asked to go home to catch his guitar-play.

She tried to console with all the affection to her son  
and changing the subject because she did not want to say that their house was not there anymore.Yesterday one of the most important things for us was to get more shops where to buy a small guitar. At meetings in the morning with the team that we could share our job includes discharge from a truck, a homeless console and also take a small guitar to a sad child.

After many activities, in the late afternoon Maria José still had the last task ... Deliver a small guitar. Never forget the look of a shaken mother for her child. Without many words, but with a look full of meaning give a hug, bless them in the name of Jesus and went out.

Small actions that fill our hearts with joy.  
So next week will continue with that work. Our request is that you pray for tomorrow, it will be a very long and important Day for everyone.  
Hugs and thanks for everything.
