Last year they reached out to Timbauba:<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The spiritual oppression was great, and the local Catholic opposition was strong, but 18 people made a decision to follow Jesus. Through sports and open air events in the evenings, many people were reached--especially the children.</div>

Lane and Misse, our workers at Guadalajara, said the two weeks were life-changing, and that it was incredible to see God work. They are currently serving in Fortaleza (about 10 hours from Recife) with 59 other youth and adults with Athletes in Action. They ask for your prayers for their health. </div>

They have dedicated their lives to serving at their local church, providing the local kids in their neighborhood a safe place to hear about Jesus, play basketball, and build godly friendships. They work with 60+ kids three or four days a week, and then invite them to church and continue ministering to them there. They have been doing this since August 2014.<br />
This past summer, they were involved with Projeto Comunidade (Community Project) with Athletes in Action, serving at different local churches and towns around where they live. They returned encouraged, and with more training on leading outreaches in their own church. They also got excited about the next Projeto Comunidade, in January 2016:<br />

This will be their first long-distance missions trip--in Fortaleza (about 11 hour drive). For the missions trip, each person needs money for transportation there, eating/living expenses there, and a "sports start-up kit" for one of the churches they minister with (including sports equipment and Bibles). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Lane and Misse have been working since this past August to figure out ways to raise this money, as funds are tight, and they are currently serving almost full-time (while finishing up high school), with no financial assistance. They have been having bake-sales after church, and selling popsicles at basketball practice (genius!). Their church, also low on funds, put together an ice cream social to get everyone together and raise funds for the girls' trip:</div>

Last Saturday morning was Basketball championships, and in the afternoon was indoor soccer. Guadalajara was excited to win the younger boys basketball division, and the indoor soccer. The girls and the older boys basketball teams also gave it their best shot.<br />

This is a really big deal, because at Basketball practice, the kids had always been sharing the same disposable cup (until Rachel was horrified at the thought of all those germs), and so the kids had been told to bring a water bottle to fill up. Most of the kids didn't own one. Now they do! </div>

Guadalajara, an impoverished suburb of Paudalho, does not have many opportunities for sports--the public school is being remodeled, and they currently have no gym, only an open field. The Mayor has commended the Community church of Guadalajara for their contribution to the community. </div>

These three young adults see it as their ministry, and with a missionary mindset, they go about running this program with no financial assistance, and very little outside help. Caid and Rachel have been coming along side to encourage them, and to try to assist where possible. We are excited to dream about the future and see what God has for this community full of children ready to know more about Jesus through sports! </div>

Please pray for the community and children of Guadalajara, and for Lane, Misselana, and Maykon, and the leadership of the church. </div>

A poor suberb of Paudalho (pop. 30,000), Guadalajara is located right off of the main road, and so is a more urban location. The community church of Guadalajara has a full gym (sanctuary), and in 2012, Glory sports ministry began there, reaching about 80 children weekly. But mid-2014, the leadership left to minister in another state, ending the program.<br />

<br />
But three of the youth from the church (Lane, Misselana—sisters, and Maykon), between ages 16-20, have gone through training with Athletes in Action, and are running the sports ministry three times a week. We are excited to see them grow, and also see how the church leadership comes along and embraces this opportunity.<br />
Since Living Stones is not currently running at Guadalajara, and we do not know when God will move to enable us to, we are calling Guadalajara our Living Stones Partnership, as we will continue supporting and updating the blog so that you can continue to pray.<br />

The pastor who led him to the Lord (Josue Oliveia) moved out to this ministry (Center of Training Leaders) a couple of years ago, training leaders and pastors on the weekend, and doing Bible clubs for kids during the week. Luizinho will join him, doing sports ministry.<br />

The ministry in Guadalajara is on hold until the leader, Luizinho, can raise support: help us re-open soon!</div>

<span lang="PT-BR">In 2006,
Luizinho met Jesus through the ministry of community churches in Brazil. Since
then, he has been working and serving different churches, working with the
youth through sports ministries. In
2012, he began an incredible ministry to over 80 children in Guadalajara, working

to help him continue this amazing ministry to the children. You can </span>see
