Cultural Meeting

Once again we met to talk about the culture, lifestyle and language of Brazil. Those who are fluent in Portuguese have a fun time watching us Americans try to learn the language.

We also received a call from a resident missionary in Brazil, Andrew Comings and his family. He was able to bring us up to speed on a few issues and answer some questions.













We also had native food. Beans and rice, meat and great deserts!















And look!!!! Our shirts!














Our next meeting will be April 9. Just a reminder to the team that we need to have our testimony written out by that date.

Also, on April 22 we will be having the AWANA Grand Prix/Car Show and Silent Auction. I'll have more details about that with the next post.

Fundraiser Opportunity

I need your help!!

Actually the F.O.C.U.S. group at Fellowship Baptist Church needs your help. During the AWANA Grand Prix on April 22, 2006, the F.O.C.U.S. group will be holding a silent auction.

We are in need of items, donated by local companies, to put in our baskets. We will take any an all donations! Nothing is to big (like a house) or to small (like a pin) to add to our baskets. We would love to advertise your company's name for you!

Some suggestions could be, but are not limites to: hair cut/style, day at the spa, coffee items! books, gift cards to anywhere and everywhere for any amount, car care, facial and body care. We can make a basket out of anything.

Please leave me a note here that you have something you would like to donate or e-mail me at rpleima@mail.usf.edu

If you have a person I could contact for a possible donation, please e-mail me that information as well!!

Thanks so much!

Ministry

Yesterday we met again in preparation for Brasil. This time we focused more on the ministry aspect of our trip. We put everyone on multiple teams so we would have an idea how involved we will be. I'm sure by the time we come back to the States we will be exhausted. But who cares!!! We are going for to do Christ's work.

Anyway, we put together some really powerful silent dramas. I was impressed on how quickly we mastered each drama.

I know this is a short post, but we just discussed technical items and I do not want to give our ideas away incase you see us in action.

Remember FOCUS members.....Testimony....APRIL 9!!!!!
