The Wards in Brazil: February 2011
http://thebrazilnuts.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
The Wards in Brazil. Saturday, February 26, 2011. We spent the majority of our time in one particular bar which we had been in before, played a few games of pool and table football and chatted to some of the locals. There was a group of ladies who were particularly interested in us foreign guys and they started off by trying to chat us up but we ended up in a small circle praying for them in the middle of the bar. Excellent. Friday, February 25, 2011. Wednesday, February 23, 2011. The situation is contin...

The Wards in Brazil: December 2011
http://thebrazilnuts.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
The Wards in Brazil. Monday, December 5, 2011. However, Dave accepted and it was really cool what he ended up speaking about. He challenged the church to reach out to the unloveable in the community. For the last few years Dave has spent many afternoons with the 'down and outs', loving them and showing them Jesus. Isn't that a great way to finish off somewhere? Passing on the vision that God gave you? I thought it was great that he had the opportunity to share this message with a local church. So, we got...

The Wards in Brazil: October 2011
http://thebrazilnuts.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
The Wards in Brazil. Friday, October 21, 2011. Faith vs. Being prepared. I have recently been wondering where to find the balance. or if there even is a balance. My thinking tells me that faith is always a good thing, but maybe I sometimes get confused as to what is actually faith. You hear a lot of people talking as if something will happen, but not really worrying if it doesn't - is that faith? Or is that pretending to have faith? Is that having a little bit of faith? What kind of faith do I have?

The Wards in Brazil. Wednesday, November 16, 2011. Respect one another (no teasing each others work). There are no mistakes (therefore erasers are NOT allowed - this caused a big gasp from the girls). Hope the girls get some pleasing results - even minus erasers! I love looking at the art-work at Scarning School where we hold Kidz Klub. Today there were the childrens paper sculptures on display, sprayed gold or copper. They looked for effective. We love having Beckies artwork in our home! Love, R and M.

The Wards in Brazil. Friday, December 2, 2011. Last session of group 2011. I had so much planned for this last afternoon - how can you possibly do everything? What is most important when you know you won't be spending time, investing in their lives anymore after this day? After this, Kelly led a time of worship, I love to see their passionate singing and dancing. It also gave an opportunity to get the pizzas (which they had made in the previous session) cooked. Looked at really good group time! Dereham B...

The Wards in Brazil: November 2011
http://thebrazilnuts.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
The Wards in Brazil. Tuesday, November 29, 2011. Just wanted to share how God is in control (of course, we never forget that do we? It felt like He held onto this money until we really needed it. Why do I feel the need to try to work out how He will do it? It is good for me to learn this lesson. He IS faithful. Wednesday, November 16, 2011. Respect one another (no teasing each others work). There are no mistakes (therefore erasers are NOT allowed - this caused a big gasp from the girls). We are now in th...

The Wards in Brazil: December 2010
http://thebrazilnuts.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
The Wards in Brazil. Monday, December 13, 2010. This afternoon Laura and I (Beckie) were able to visit this boys family, it wasn't easy, but I'm glad we went. It felt like we were able to grieve with those who are grieving. Check out Laura's blog. Where she shares of our experience. Wednesday, December 8, 2010. At the moment it seems like we are only hearing sad news. A lot of things are going on here, some things to do with drug gang tension, others are purely accidental. Saturday, December 4, 2010.

The Wards in Brazil: June 2011
http://thebrazilnuts.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
The Wards in Brazil. Thursday, June 23, 2011. Just wanted to share one of our sessions with our girls. We have been trying to teach them about who they are and who God says they are. Eleanor (my co-leader) really wanted to do a session about how we are a success, not just the things we do but who we are! Our girls love doing crafts, they might be noisy or distracted at other times, but during craft time they work almost silently. The girls are all indulging - YUM, YUM. Sunday, June 19, 2011. We had a gre...
