Bread Baking in Brazil

The campaign “bread of love” for the neighborhood “Taquari Garden was a success. All contributed to it! Flour, sugar, margarine, eggs and yeast, and the result was 74 loaves! Well, actually it was 75, but of course one of them had to be the guinea pig and was taste tested. We made the bread on the 22nd of December and began at 7:00 AM. It was day of a lot of work, but gratifying. A sister from the Assemblies of God, let us borrow her outdoor oven, and we baked all of the bread. The day before Pastor Michael and Júlio César went after the wood for the oven.

We distributed the bread on the 23rd of December with the help of Pastor Ernesto and brother Gideão, to 36 families. It is sad to see so many house of cheap wood and so full of children in the neighborhood. But we don’t want to stop there, we are thinking about how our church here in Santo Amaro can help socially in that community.

Spiritually we are holding services and children’s meetings and hope that the Lord will bless the work there. Thank you for your prayers.
