Happy 2006!

A new year in Brazil and we felt it was high-time to get this blog started (after setting it up 6 months ago). This is the start of our second year with Youth With A Mission (YWAM) in Belo Horizonte (the 3rd largest city in Brazil). YWAM is an international missionary organisation staffed by volunteers (both long- and short-term).

We are working with the mercy ministries in Belo, basically working with the poor and dispossessed and offering practical and spiritual help to those who need it. We are working with Casa Resgate (the Rescue House) the first point of contact for street-kids and adults. Although we do have a timetable we have found out, after a month with the team, that ‘no two days are ever the same’! Such is the nature of our job. Although it can be slightly disconcerting, it is also very free and we are being exposed to all sorts of situations that require our attention.

Till next time.
