Yesterday Rachel was suppose to blog but we got back late and she went right to bed so I asked her to go ahead do it this morning. So, here's Rachel:
Wow. This trip has been nothing like I expected. I expected to come here, see people in poverty, and try to share God's love with them. But that has only been a very small part of this trip. Relationships have been built, people have been saved, lives have been changed, churches have been renewed.
It's amazing to see how quickly we can get attached to these people and children. They give us so much love. It's going to be hard going back to America where people have a lot of corrupt attitudes.
Yesterday was a spiritual battle. We went visiting in Villa Zumbi. We went to people's houses and shared Jesus with them. The things we saw, the things we felt, and the people we touched can't even be put into words. People live in houses as big as me bedroom with 5 people. They have so little, but the children are still so full of joy.
This has truly been a life altering trip. Two days to go...

Hey Guys, it's Jim again. For those of you who have students on this trip, expect them to be different when they get home. They've seen and experienced a lot of different emotions and have seen what the power of the Gospel can do in dark places. Hopefully they will be able to carry on the fire of sharing Jesus when they get home because His Spirit is just as powerful and life changing in the States as it is here. Well, it's off to the orphanage.
Jim
