Today in the children’s program Jaimie, Theresa and Andrew taught about Jesus being our revealer. They instructed the children on how worship reveals and brings us closer to the heart of God. We examined Revelation 4 and 5 which depicts the throne room of God. The team reconstructed this heavenly scene for the children to […]

Today the children learned how God is our provider.  Andrea and Carly animated the account where Jesus provided for the disciples and filled their net with fish. They even had a real net and got creative by using balloons as fish! Both the kids in Heliopolis and City of God actively listened as this message […]

Jesus is our Healer! Today children in both Heliopolis and City of God learned how Jesus healed the 10 lepers in the Book of Luke. Being the last week of their summer break, some of the children arrived at our morning session looking as if they just woke up. That quickly changed as our team […]

With hearts prepared and doors wide open, we welcomed the children from Heliopolis inside the sanctuary for the first day of our children’s bible program. Similar to our Summer Celebration for our youth back home, this week children will learn more about Jesus through a message, soaking and a craft. Today’s theme is Jesus as […]

With just one more day until we begin our week of children’s ministry, there were 600 fish and 100 soccer balls to cut out, as well as various other things to tape and staple! Our team excitedly took up the task!  As we prepared the crafts, we also allowed the Lord to prepare our hearts […]

Sundays are always a joyous day on the mission field, especially when today is Pastor Dirceu’s birthday! The team dressed in their finest attire to attend Casa de Jesus, Heliopolis.

As we awoke to the sound of people going to and fro outside of our Brazilian home, we couldn’t help but be excited as we prayed over what the Lord is going to do today. We were reminded of a prophetic word that was given to the team prior to leaving the United States, “Watch […]

Today was another day of celebration as we found out we got permission to use the local Samba school for a crusade tomorrow! The Samba school is a huge warehouse used for Samba dancing competitions and preparation for a Brazilian celebration called Carnival. Even though this location is used for practices that are not of […]

Today Sao Paulo celebrates its 464th year anniversary! Fireworks could be heard outside as the team ate breakfast. Inside, we too, were celebrating as we recounted several of the prayers, healings and testimonies from yesterday’s outreaches.

Soak and go. That is a simple little phrase that describes the start of our day here as we headed out into the surrounding houses and byways to meet new friends to pray for, tell about Jesus, and invite to church. As we walked along, we met a woman who invited us in to her […]

Today we had the wonderful opportunity to start the day by meeting the people in  Heliópolis. We broke up in three groups which included our friends from the mission school who have been staying with us. Armed with flyers about Casa de Jesus, and hearts open for whatever Holy Spirit had in mind, each group took […]

The buzz of a multi-million person metropolis rarely quiets. But rolling brownouts are the product of an overtaxed electricity infrastructure. Today in the midst of one of these brownouts, time froze as factories, tv’s and rogue alleyway stereos dried up in silence. It started faintly but within the heart of Casa de Jesus in Heliopolis, […]

In the evening, KBS students departed in vans for their different villages. Our team took a walk through our Frontline land to see the mango farm that was recently planted.
