Time to do the Laundry

This Little Guy is amazing to say the lest. He's always ready to lend a helping hand and he is very curious like a lot of little boys his age. As a result he's alway falling off of something or running into things as you can on his face. Never a dull moment with Little Washington. I pray for him and his family that all will go well in his life and that God will protect him as he grows up and that he will become all that God wants him to be. Be blessed my little friend.

Little Washington

Little Washington Front and Center with his two Older Brothers

Little Washington, that's the name of the little boy seated there with his two older brothers. This pass year has been an eye opening experience for me working with the poor in Brazil. Planaltina, Brazil to be exact. Proverbs 19:17 If you help the poor, you are lending to the LORD--and he will repay you!
I pray that these three little guys will get all the help they need both physically and materially with plenty of food and clean water but also spiritually with the saving Gospel of  Jesus Christ.

The Work Continues

And the work continues at Mãos a Obras (Helping Hands) to help remodel the homes of the most needy families in Planaltina Goiás, near Brasilia, Brazil. Please pray for these families that their most basic needs of clean running water a roof that doesn't leak and doors on the house that lock to make their lives safer and more secure. So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into the field; Mat 9:38. Thank you and God bless!!
