I met you on one of my first mission trips to Brazil – probably somewhere around 2001 or 2002 – in Angra dos Reis (hope I spelled that right) with Dr.Cecil Taylor taking our group down. And then I think we worked with you another year but I can’t remember which city. You made a huge impact on my life then and these videos shook me to the core. I have prayed for you many times over the years and wondered what was going on in your lives. Thank you for sharing this but most of all, thank you for sharing Jesus with your world. God bless and I will continue to pray but now know better HOW to pray for you.

Family has always meant so much to me. Your family’s faith and courage and commitment to the call brought me to tears. Going to such a dangerous place with two girls astounded me. I constantly pray for my two sons’ protection in an environment that can’t even be compared to what you guys face everyday. I needed to see this today. My husband and I and our two sons are one of those typical church families that is so self-focused. I want my family to really see God the way you and your family do. I will pray.
