Prayer Request- Pete & Jodi (Brazil)

Dear Prayer Partners,

Greetings from not-so-sunny Brazil! Today starts our yearly Carnival- time Camp experience for youth. Among our “campers” this year are teens from the cities of Jarinú, Maracana, Campinas, Varzea and Sorocaba. There are over 60 youth participating and we even have a young guy, Nate, here helping with camp that traveled all the way from Georgia to help! It has been raining for days! As I write it is still drizzling BUT camp goes on…….

We ask that you be with us in prayer for the following:

  • The teens and preteens attending camp this year, some of which are already involved in prostitution and drugs, would have an intimate encounter with our Lord
  • That the Holy Spirit would move mightily among our campers, our leaders, and everyone involved
  • That pride, selfishness, , jealousy, immoral thinking, and all manner of sin be washed away; strong conviction and repentance of personal sins
  • For strength and energy to properly minister to these people even though we have to wake up early and get to bed very late!
  • Salvation for all who are not saved (the majority here now are NOT saved)
  • The weather- with all this rain our roads are washed out, muddy and impassable! We cannot get up or down the dirt road leading to our property so people are having to walk, in the drizzle and through the mud, to reach our home at the top of the mountain! Pray for sunshine!
  • That no one would get hurt during camp

Camp officially starts today (Sat. the 5th) and goes until Tuesday morning. We truly covet your prayers!

Many blessings,

Pete and Jodi and the whole Brazil team
