Our kids were invited to a youth retreat in the city this weekend and we were so blessed by our experience as a family. Parents were invited to participate on Saturday evening for a "Noite Brega"...best explained by looking at our crazy attire in the picture! :) It was a great culmination for the weekend theme of "not conforming to this world." The youth pastor shared about making a difference in the world and allowing God to write your story. We picked up the kids this afternoon...and were quickly reminded of how exhausted everyone is after a retreat! Pray that the seeds that were planted in their hearts take root and the Holy Spirit shows them the marvelous future He has for them!
Our ministry strives to share the love of Jesus with abused, neglected, and abandoned children in southern Brazil. If you would like to support our ministry, please send contributions to First Friends Church, 5455 Market Avenue North, Canton, Ohio 44714 (for tax purposes, please attach a note `for the Cochrans`).
