Chico - The Brazilian

Yeah!!
Country music is blaring on my radio!

I visit some friends and my heart was so grateful to all that God was doing in that time. Some changes in my plan make God’s plan my reality. I was excited but I couldn’t say I was fearless. I met a new friend and brother that I will not forget for the rest of my life, Wayne Cole. I needed a place to stay the night and God put Him in front of me in the time I needed. That was awesome!!! God’s providence to his son.

His love is greater than anything you can imagine!!!

In the Picture is Chris Beres, I, the Kirby’s and Wayne

I have stayed with my friends Rusty (Rustinho), Alexus and Daniel.
Man! These guys are fun!
They gave me so much, setting meetings for me up, making anything they could to serve and make the Kingdom expand. What a example of partnership and brotherhood these guys gave to me!
Thank also to the girls, Jessica, Candace, ...


Jesus is the good shepherd! He is my shepherd!!!
Alleluias!

I had a great time in Knoxville. I have stayed with the Ingers and the weather surprised me a little bit. Imaging how fun it was for a Brazilian to see snow again. it was beautiful.

God also surprised me with beautiful hearts and so pleasant friends. I was really well received and had a great time with Joseph Inger and all his friends. God was building heavenly connections that encourage me so much!

I have just arrived here in Atlanta and I feel already excited about what is going on here. God is really preparing things for me. Even in the plane i was talking to a nice older man that i met there for the first time. I took the car in the airport and then find the house i am staying. A adventure in every second.

Depending on God for now and forever,
Chico

I am right now on the airport. In 2 hours I will be flying to Atlanta.
I am so thankful to God to give me such a big opportunity to trust Him. I also see this is bigger than raising support. God wants to call me and so many others to Him, He wants to say that His kingdom is come!

God faithfully answer one of the prayers requests I have sent. He has provided me a car while I am in the US. I am so thankful for that!
Now is starting another challenge: to set the appointments and give people the opportunity to be partners of Christ’s ministry here in Brazil (where I am a servant).

Please pray for my trip and for my heart. Pray that God will be opening doors and giving me love, faith to face all the challenges.

I am right now preparing to leave to visit some of my friends and brothers in Christ in US!
I am so glad that God can make bigger things than I imagine. I never thought I would go to US alone to meet people in other country and depend on them for every moment of this trip (I feel totally incapable to make this trip work!).

But God can make all things possible! He is showing me that our family in Christ is worldwide and that His love is boundless.

I want to serve this God, the only God, with all my strength!
I want give my life to experience more and more about Him and all He has for me.

Pray for me and for all my needs:

Support - I need raise monthly support and one time gifts to fulfill the needs I have now
Contacts - I need referrals that only you can help me.
Transportation - I need a car for my use while in the U.S.
Housing - I need place to stay while in the U.S. states so that I can stay and connect to people. Cristina is not going with me because of her responsibilities here in the ministry, logistics and financial difficulties.

I am engaged!
Wow, that is so good! I am so excited about marrying Cristina! It should be in July and we must prepare fast all the preparations! Hurry up! Come with us and be part of this wonderful time in our lives!
I want this time to remember me of what God did for me and for her. We are the fiancé of Christ! So now I will know more what He feels about us, the Church. Now I will know more about the feelings of the fiancé about the weeding and her wait for the day. That is great! I love Cristina!

Please keep praying for us!

Preparing and planning for the new semester!

So much to do and think about. Sometimes I feel so incapable and week. In these times I am called to go back to my Savior.

God you are the one that make all things happened (Ephesians 2.10), so please make your plan happened in my life and in all people lives that I am involved for the Glory of your holly name! I want to do all things you prepared for me to do, give faith and courage to do it!
You have being faithful to me and in all things I have being called by you, you keep me in safe place and give me all that I need, so please be merciful to me. Look to me and take my burden and take me in your arms. I beg you; make me strong in your grace and all my fears will disappear and I will worship you with all I am, giving thanks to all you gave me!
You are my all in all!
