News Update

The month of March is almost gone; look out for a newsletter around Easter time, but in the meantime, here's our latest news!

Louissa's Exams

We now have all the dates for Louissa's IGCSEs - we've put the details in our "Pray for us" section of our blog, so you can be praying or thinking of her at specific times. The first paper is her Portuguese Oral exam next week on Thursday 3rd April at 3pm (Brasilia time = GMT-3). We will be taking the bus and metro to a school in São Paulo, so please pray that we will arrive safely and on-time. 

Trip to Maringá last week

Mike had a great time in Maringá at the end of last week, getting to know the OM Teenstreet team better, and sharing plans to grow the ministries of OM both in Maringá and in São José dos Campos.

2 teams = 1 team

OM Students back from Practical

The students have started to share their experiences of their two-week practical mission-trips. We'll have some photos and stories in our next newsletter. But for now, it's back to the classroom for a few weeks, and this week was a special week we all tasted food from different countries and cultures. 

Where's the cutlery?

Yesterday the meal was arabic-style, but not just the food, but the ambience and the way it was eaten - as you can see from the photo above. 

In the afternoon (much to our approval) we all had scones with jam and PG-Tips tea.

March 2014 Update

Thought we would give you an update on some of the articles in our March newsletter!

UPDATE ON RAIN:
Still not much of it! It has rained a few times, but nothing like normal. The temperatures are still pretty high - around 30C by day and 20C at night but there are signs it will be cooling a little over the next few weeks.

Familiar sight this year ...

UPDATE ON EXAMS:
Louissa has the dates for most of her exams: she'll have one paper at the end of this month, 5 papers spread out through May, and one in June. Her work load is still heavy so please pray for her!

UPDATE ON OM STUDENTS:
The 23 missions students are nearing the end of their 2-week practical. One of the planned locations was changed at the last minute, but everything was (re) arranged on time. We expect plenty of news and stories when the students get back next week. Thanks for praying for them - let's pray that they arrive back safely.

SHORT TRIP FOR MIKE
Mike is travelling with three other OMers to Maringá - where the Teenstreet team is based. They set off tomorrow morning (Thurs 20th) - an 800km drive, and return on Sunday. The OM Base team will be meeting up with the OM Teenstreet team.

HOLIDAY TODAY
Today is a holiday in our city, São José dos Campos. It is "St Joseph's Day"

Thanks for following us - we'll have more news soon ...
