Monte and Jenny Hanks in Brazil
We are so grateful to have this opportunity to join WFTW in Brazil from this side!!! What a Great God we have! We have been living in Northeast Brazil, working at Camp Refuge (Refugio Sobre Rodas) with Dinalva Nabuco, (missionary in Brazil). Dinalva herself is disabled and has a heart for Brazilians that are disabled. She exhibits no shyness when approaching Brazilians on the street, that happen to be in a wheelchair or using crutches. We are constantly surprised and amazed at the way God is working in our lives and in this special friend's life. God is here in Brazil and we have joined the work that HE is accomplishing in the hearts of the Brazilian people. Our prayer request would be that God will ready the hearts of Brazilians planning to come to receive a gift of a wheelchair. That He would fight the spiritual battles that surround us. That He would give our team a special bond with each other that would glorify Him to others surrounding the outreach. That the Rotary club members would want to know our Great God and why we have a love for one another. That we would exhibit a patience that only God can give. That we would be rested and free from any illnesses that can interfere with the work set before us. That we would walk in the steps that He provides. And that we would always remember that this is His work and His results. We are only hands and feet, He is the provider........

Monte and Jenny, we are so happy that you decided to help out the Team again this year, and also happy that Dinalva and Susan will be able to help out as well. We will be here in CO praying for all of you and wishing we could be with you. Since this is the first year I will not be there since 2006, I will definitely be watching this blog so that I can feel like a small part of the team. I am glad God has used us to set the "wheels" (pun intended) in motion to bring you to Brazil and to have you continue on the work that has been started there in Brazil. We'll be following.....
