media and the Village

We have been blessed to have the media from our city interested in our project, the monday after our event, the newspaper wrote an article about it, ON THE FRONT PAGE! also, today, the same newspaper which is the most important one in our state, wrote a full page article on the village, explaining how it all started and what was going on and what our plans were for the future, we praise God for this and pray this brings him the absolute honour and glory and also pray that the media and bussiness and people around our area become interested.

Thank you for helping, praying and believing in this project that we believe comes from the heart of God!

church services

like we've mentioned before, we've been having regular church services at the Village every sunday... this is a great way to build an acts 2 community around the migrants... its pretty much like our church services, where if you been to one, they're pretty family oriented, they get to share testimonies, what has been doing in their lives, and also their struggles and prayer requests for the rest of the church to pray. here are some pictures from the last two services...

This is very exciting because it shows how many of them truly have the hunger and that desire for God, during this services we share nothing but the word of God, .. only on certain occassions when we get a load of food in the previous days, then we make bags of food and hand it to them. but this doesnt happen all the time. We also have an offering time that ussualy barely helps to cover for the gas of the generator for that day, the reason why we do this is because we dont want them to get used to just recieve, they need to know the joy of giving also, even in need, and not also monetary sharing, but other needs too, its pretty amazing to see them pray for each other.

flyers handout!

the youth group from our church went to give out flyers for the event, unfortunately it was a bit of a cold/rainy day so not a lot of people were out... here are some pictures! we're planning to do this again this weekend... we have to give 10,000 flyers out! and expect for half of the turnout! we will see what God has planned!
