Brazil

Hi, my name is Dani. I live in God's wonderful surf country.

I just recently got back from doing God's work in Brazil. I was in Sao Paulo Brazil for 10 days where I met some wonderful people. I was part of a children's ministry team. We did dramas, skits, and puppet shows to help them understand God's love. We did a workshop to teach the churches how to have a children's program (Sunday school, vacation bible school). After that we did two crusades to reach the youth. That was when we did the most puppet shows. The second crusade 45 kids accepted Jesus into their hearts during the altar call. It was so cool to know that we helped them! It was really a blessing to see these kids so eager to learn about God.
I had a puppet that I gave away to a 10 year old boy named Matthew. When I gave it to him his face lit up with joy as it is probably the only stuffed animal he has. It made me feel good to give it to him.

When we had free time we went shopping in the malls. I bought some really cool and interesting things. All their shops are grouped together by what they sell. For example, if you wanted to get Christian stuff you would go to the Christian area of town. If you wanted to get music you would go to the music area.

Hi, Danielle,
That's awesome that you had the opportunity to go to another country at such a young age. Did your parents go with you?

It's also awesome that you were part of an event where 45 kids accepted Jesus! Praise the Lord!

Oi (is that how you spell it?) Danielle,

It's so cool that you got to go to Brazil! We have to hear all your stories. I'm so glad you were able to help the Brazilian people.
