Our team continues to be amazed at how God is at work here at Lar Batista. Every child has a unique story and most of the stories did not start pretty. The trauma that they have experienced was great but our God is greater. This place is a living testimony of God's grace.
Today had the tremendous opportunity to meet with the mayor of Assis Chateubriand. Lar Batista has a great relationship with the community and the mayor has been very helpful to the Lar Batista mission. 
Here is a picture of the chapel that is nearly finished. It is only by God's grace that Lar Batista obtained the land and built the structure but Lar does not have the funds to purchase furniture for it. In the future the chapel will serve as a center for prayer, counceling, and worship - not only to the children of Lar but for the entire community.
Much of our time here is spent just playing with the children and showing them the love of Jesus. You can tell that they really have a good time here and our entire team does as well.
