Volunteers

With the upcoming Trek, we want to thank you once again for your participation. Enabling Living Stones to have vehicles also enables us to bring volunteers to the program, expanding the blessing for the children--and for those who come!

Tuesdays and Saturdays Cajueiro Claro focus' on music training, with choir, mime, drum/guitar/keyboard lessons. Vinicius, a student from the International school, helps teach on Saturdays:

Caid has been working on choir and voice training on Tuesdays

Our friend, an amazing guitarist, came to help

And Rachel Shimrock, our summer intern, is doing a great job teaching the younger children some sign language/worship songs (and playing games afterwards). 

Don't forget about our Computer classroom dream, bringing internet/classes to Cajueiro Claro for the first time! We are still in need of assistance!

Computer Class Dream

Flavio has been talking about offering a computer class for years for the kids in Cajueiro Claro:

Four new computers are on their way to Cajueiro Claro! Now we just have a little more to be ready for them. If you would like to be a part of this exciting new step for Cajueiro Claro (and help us offer the internet for these kids for the first time in their community!), give here and put "Cajueiro Computer class" in the comment line.

Mother's Day Celebration

We had a wonderful celebration in Cajueiro Claro, celebrating mothers.

The kids made special invitations for their mothers, and helped decorate the church.

We had special gifts for the mothers and a lovely presentation. 

Four Baptized at Cajueiro Claro Friends church

We are so excited to see God working, not just in the children, but in the families at Cajueiro Claro. Three adults and one youth were baptized this week at Cajueiro Claro.

In the face of many challenges, and many of the older youth leaving the church and Living Stones program in favor of other worldly pursuits, this was a great encouragement to everyone present. Please pray for this community, that God would continue to raise up leaders from within to make a lasting difference. 

Easter at Cajueiro

*Note: The painted rocks you see in the video were the "eggs" we hid for the Easter Egg hunt!

Seventeen kids from the International school came and helped us celebrate Easter at Cajueiro Claro on April 10, 2015. Pastor Flavio brought kids from Mussurepe and Belem outreaches to join in the fun as well. Over 60 children heard the Gospel, got to be part of an egg hunt, and then enjoyed fruit, candy, chocolate eggs, and hot dogs.

Thank you so much to everyone who made this happen, and to Caid Ferguson and Lindsay Turner for the amazing pictures.

Off and Running

Living Stones Cajueiro Claro is off and running with the Living Stones program (mostly focusing on the younger kids),

It is so vital to have educational and nutritional assistance, especially in the rural areas.

For the older children, there is mime and music training, which is then immediately put into practice at church on the weekends!

They are offering piano, drum, and guitar lessons. 

Carnaval Camp

Ten children from Living Stones Cajueiro Claro were able to attend Carnaval Camp 2015! We are so excited to see how they are growing and becoming the new leaders of the church! Special thanks to John Winzeler for sponsoring some of the kids this year.

As you see, our wonderful Kombe, and behind that the beach house they rented. 

A bit cramped, but the more the merrier! 

Worship time and devotions

Please say a special prayer for the boys/men, as God desires to raise up the next generation in this community!
