Trip to Sento Sé
Well now I'm back from my trip to Sento Sé, BA. The trip began for me in Floriano and went till Remanso and from there to Sento Sé.
Now I have a lot of work to do till the end of March. I have two assignments that I have to send to CLBI. One is a research project involving the drug problems here in Barão and the other is a learning project involving the soccer school. These means that I have a lot of work before me.
I thank you very much for your support in prayer.
How I mentioned it a few weeks earlier I went with PróSERTÃO to Sento Sé to help out at a Congress to train leaders that would work in the area of kids ministry.
We had a good and save trip. Till Remanso we drove with our car and from Remanso to Sento Sé we had to take a boat across the river.
The Congress was a success. We had around 50 leaders or people that wanted to be trained in it. We had the chance to teach a lot to them. The local Pastor wants now to start or improve the kids ministry and use all the knowledge that this leaders have now.
In this region it is really dry, they are now in the rainy season but it didn't rain since January. The river or better the dam is really low. You can see now the water towers from the old city that got flooded as a consequence of the dam. A lot of trucks come to the river to get water to deliver it to the villiges in the interior of the country that are suffering because of the lack of water.

Church's Birthday
The last weekend was really stressed. But before you make any wrong conclusions let me explain how it went.
Everything started Friday morning, Friday the 22nd of February. It was the inauguration day of the PróSERTÃO and CEF (Child Evangelism Fellowship) office in Teresina. This ment that the swiss missionary Simon Reifler, the local Pastor and his wife - Pastor Valter and Rozi and I had to go up to Teresina. Simon had that day too a meeting with the PróSERTÃO leadership, this ment that we had to leave Barão 6am. When we arrived in Teresina Simon went straight to the meeting and I helped out with the last preparation for the inauguration party in the evening. The evening went well and it was a very nice service. (For picture please visit the PróSERTÃO Facebook fanpage)
Well now comes the reason why this weekend was so tiering. Because our church was celebrating on the Saturday as well as on the Sunday the second birthday we had to get back to Barão asap. The first event started 8am on Saturday morning. So we left right after the inauguration in Teresina and we were back in Barão at 1:30am on Saturday morning. The drive back was 100% in God's hand. We were at least twice close to a bad accident during our drive back home. So that night we didn't have that much sleep. 8am Saturday morning we left for a bike trip through the interior of Barão. It was a great time with the youth that came along and here to God protected us, because all of us fell at least once with the bikes but no one got injured. (Pictures from this event will be posted later)
Well the programs that were scheduled for this weekend went on. Saturday night we had a public service where a singer (DFAM - youtube / facebook) was leading worship.
Sunday morning was more relaxed then Saturday. We started with a putlock breakfast and went on with a small devo which ended with the washing of each others feet. (Here are the pictures to the preparation work and Sunday)
Well now some words to myself. I have my flight booked to Switzerland. I'll be landing on the 7th of May in Switzerland. My plan is to stay there for approximately three months, to work and get my money together to pay my last year of studying in Canada. My plan is too, to get back to Canada on the 21st of August to finish my CLBI degree. By finishing this degree I'll have the BACS (Bachelor of Applied Christian Studies). Hier is a document explaining the requirements as well what it is.
So that was it, the next post will probably be after my trip to Sento Sé. (for mor informations about Sento Sé, please the last article)
