one idea carol and amanda had at the beginning of the internship was to create an alternating cycle of SERVICE SATURDAYS and SOCIAL SATURDAYS with our youth group.
genius.
we are influencing the youth to be PRAGMATIC leaders.
not just ppl that sit around and philosophy on their faith, but ppl that say
"i believe, therefore, i do."
in August we had an Olympics party (social sat), with mock-sport and medals!, and we went to Sitio Shalom (the drug rehab program mark serves) to help them plant their vegetable garden for service sat. (if you ask the youth what their favorite activity was so far, SITIO SHALOM is the answer!)
in September we went to a soccer game in Sao Paulo (it was an insane adventure!), and for our service we remodeled chose a small, simple business in the community to remodel.
in October we will have Praise and Worship night on Saturday (25/10) and on Halloween we are trick-or-treating for canned foods to distribute Christmas food baskets.
Itu is a small city, but God keeps doing BIG things around here!
and we've watched Him use Carol and Amanda to create action!
proud to have such good teammates!

I love the trick or treating for canned items! That is genius! You guys are such a blessing to so many there. We love you!
Greetings to the interns! I know they will carry Mark and Ali and all the good folk in Itu in their hearts for the rest of their lives.
Saludos a todos!
