Two days ago we posted an update on Camp and how it affected the lives of several young guys. Well, last night we had a super interesting surprise come to our door. William, who I wrote about below, Cleiton and Chagas live in the favela Gleba B of Campinas and all three participated in our Camp almost two weeks ago. Last night, around 11pm the three of them appeared at our gate on bicycles. They had decided that they wanted to be here with us this weekend, participate in our church, and receive some “spiritual food”.
This was a HUGE effort on their part as Campinas is over 50 kilometers (31 miles) away! To make the situation even more unbelievable is the fact that they erred on their directions and went way out of their way to get here so they wound up bicycling almost 70 kilometers (43 miles). They left their homes at 2pm expecting to get here in a couple of hours and arrived at 11pm tired, hungry, and exhausted!
Two of these guys are 15 years old and the other is 17 and all come from messed up homes. They have been getting together during the week in their community to pray together. Please keep them in your prayers. Pray that the excitement in their hearts for the Lord will not diminish and that they can grow closer to HIM more and more each day.
Praise the Lord!
Pete and Jodi Brennan
