We pray your month of April was blessed. Something we have recognized this month is the reoccurring theme of hunger + thirst. Once we taste and experience the power of the Lord, we cannot go back to our old ways of trying to be satisfied though things of this world.
Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
(John 4:13-14)
This month, while out of the country between Puerto Rico and Brazil we have witnessed 90+ salvations collectively through our time serving with Youth For Christ Puerto Rico and Hope For Brazil Ministries. We praise God for all JESUS is doing… Please continue reading below for more testimonies from this month!
Testimony from the village of Mau Mau in the amazon jungle
A never ending joy, while on the island for 10-days with the YFCPR staff and volunteers we were able to serve together hand and hand under one mission: lifting up the name of Jesus to others! We loved being able to not only film, but be a part of their ministry sites such as: Ramey Coast Guard Base, Revive, Young Adults, and Missions.
Each one of these ministries focus on the next generation to build leaders up and pour the love of Jesus out through games, worship, lessons and taking time to disciple students. The largest missions team YFCPR has hosted was on-site while we were there. It is incredible to see how the Lord uses each ministry outlet to pour out and pour into each other such as hands to work on the property to then serve the community in greater capacities to point back to the handy-work of God. All together there were 10+ salvations and 4 water baptisms from this missions team experiencing the life-changing power of Jesus!
Revive Night every Thursday for the local community youth (middle + high school aged) being shared the Gospel then followed with small groups and pizza.
We are so blessed to serve Jesus alongside the YFCPR staff and lift up HIS name for the Glory of God!
Behind the Scenes, we have been able to help the YFCPR team in sharing the miracouls story that the Lord has been writing through this ministry. We are touched by capturing and hearing their testimonies which simply point back to JESUS and nothing else. A 12-acre property now being used to point the next generation to the Father’s love. In addition, capture new headshots for their staff, make a few fun videos they needed for missions teams, update property photos, and brainstorm for the future ways to partner together.
We are excited to finish this coming week videos about the prayers of: yesterday, today and tomorrow of how God has moved in the last five years. On March 13th, we will be sharing these videos in person and be a small part in bringing a virtual representation to the community and ministry partners there.
Upon returning home from Puerto Rico, we will be then putting together the overall story to share with you a short-documentary about God’s faithfulness and the power of His pursing love to a generation and community.

Miracles in Manaus, we partner with local HFB team members to serve at their twice a month “Soup Outreach”. This ministry outlet served over 200+ people waiting outside a local hospital as they waited for their love ones inside receiving medial care along with many other displaced individuals.
This soup is used as a tool to share that food is nourishment to our bodies, but we will become hungry after a few hours… There is Savior, Jesus who’s love never ends!

Salvations in Santarem, we partner with missionaries Marcos + Hanna and their team of volunteers to serve two different villages. In the Village of Mau Mau we were able to witness to others through Convoy of Hope. This ministry outreach brings dentists, doctors, physical therapists, and barbers/hairdressers to bring physical care to those in the community whom do not have the resources to access these tools.
In the Village of Arapiri, over 70+ water kits were made and distributed after the children and adult services. The physical example of how God purifies our souls and brings health was demonstrated through this kit.
All together over 80+ salvations between both village during outreaches.
Village of Arapiri hearing the Gospel and receiving 70+ “Water Kits” for each family to have clean water.
Behind the Scenes, we were able to capture additional interviews from missionaries in both cities and volunteers after ministry outreach days. These testimonies will be used to share of how the hand of God has moved over the past years and in this moment of ministry.
In these testimonies, there has been physical healing and hearts mended by the power of the love of Christ. This camera is a simple tool we are honored to use to testify how God is still moving in miraculous ways. We are excited to begin editing this short-documentary focused on hope this coming month after getting all the missing pieces together from B-Roll, interviews, on-site ministry moments and more.
