We are enjoying an unusual weekend at CLM...only seven of our 24 children were here today! Geovane and Patricia are visiting their aunt and uncle and nine of our adolescents went to a weekend retreat at Turvo with Viktoria, Kevin and Elaine. We took the remaining 13 kids to the park this morning to have our Sunday morning children's service and a picnic lunch...and then six of them left to spend the day in Turvo with Fabio and Edit. With the team from Ohio here with us, it made a wonderful adult-child ratio--we actually outnumbered the kids! We praise God for this special day for them and pray that the Holy Spirit ministers to our teens at the retreat.
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`).
