I only need $231

Hello Everyone!!

I had my latest Brazil Team meeting where we watched others from my church perform The Redeemer skit. I got so teary-eyed just watching it and knowing that I will be able to touch the lives of others in Brazil. We are supposed to think of which part we would like to play, which I would like to play any of the temptations. If you haven't seen The Redeemer before, you can check it out on YouTube. Here's the link

I have a huge praise to tell everyone about. Because of the outpouring of donations, I now have raised $2169. Which means I only need $231 until I reach my goal!! Words can not express my gratitude to all of you have helped me with my Brazil trip!!!


Prayer Needs:
1. Immunizations: (I don't want to get the needed shots and am praying for my anxiety to go away about it.)
2. That the group will become closer, even more than we already have.
3. The people of Brazil that we are going to come into contact with.
4. Satan has already begun to try to influence and bring anxiety to out team. Please pray that we will stay strong and cling to the Lord during our preparation time.

Hey, I thought that some of you would like some more information on what I will be doing in Brazil, who the group will be working with ( a family named Bruno and Camila Costa) and what there organization (The Open Air Campaigners) that they work for looks like. Below is the address where you can see what the Costa's and others are doing to spread the gospel in the unique way of street ministry.

Brazil Nuts

Well, here is the names of my wonderful team. Please pray for our team b/c we are going to really need it. From money coming in, sickness to not be an issue, to people getting passports on time, it would do us well to be covered in prayer.

Matt Browne: team leader
Lizzy and Tim Spainhour (husband and wife)
Elizabeth Blackburn
Bryan and Brandon Autry (father and son)
Carolyn Compton
and of course me!!


Praise! I now have raised $1774 from my needed $2500 total amount due for the trip. How wonderful that I prayed about being worryed about funds, and it is only early February and look what has come in already.

Also, we are now ordering tickets, so it's for sure that I am going to Brazil at the beginning of the summer!!

My Unkymood Punkymood (Unkymoods)

Words can not express

Words can not express how thankful I am for many people's support. I sent out my asking for donations letter a little before Christmas. I always am hesitant to send out the letter and just pray over them before they are sent. What the amazing thing is, as of early January, I have raised $1600 dollars. Praise God! The goal for the trip is $2500 and I am already more than halfway there. At one of our first Brazil team meetings, I asked for prayer that I would not worry about the money coming in, and even now all I can be is thankful for those who have given away there hard earned money in order for me to go on this adventure with God.

Thank you!

Brazil, here I come!!

I have decided to make a blog for my Brazil trip. I think that updates and pictures woudl be easier to be seen on here, rather than e-mailing so many people. Yes, I am going to Brazil. We are going to be using street evangelism to bring hte Good News to so many people in Brazil. We will either be doing a sketchboard or doing the Redeemer skit. If you have not seen the Redeemer skit, I think that YouTube has many groups showing you what it is exactly. We are asked to raise $2500 for the trip. It is also going to be a long plane ride, (8-9) hours and for those who don't already know, I am not a good flyer. Currently there are 9 people all together going on the trip. the small number makes it easier to move around places and also for us to become family rather quickly. A family that I went on my first Guatemala trip is coming to Brazil, which is such a God sent. Below I will put some prayer requests.

Prayer Requests:
1. For the team to become close together quickly.
2. For donations to come in.
3. We all have to have extra shots that weren't needed for my Guatemala Trip. I don't like needles as from my other Guatemala trips, so please pray for me getting the Typhoid and Yellow Fever immunization which should be after Feb.
4. For the Brazil individuals that are going to hear our street ministry.
