What is it that I am trying to accomplish by going to Brazil?

Specifically and most obviously I am going to serve. However, the heart behind my ministry is to reach the children of the streets. I am absolutely willing to venture any area that keeps me in touch with the youth and children of the country. If I have any focus at all it is to use what I know. I have chiseled my preference of service to my gifts (the characteristics God has chosen to refine in me). I just finished course work for my Bachelors in literature/creative writing specializing in children's literature. Experiencing an education like this has served as an eventual catapult of focused ministry to the like, allowing me to think that I might intimately approach a special group of children through their much treasured spirits and minds. I believe wholeheartedly being impassioned in this way I have a great capability to be able to invest in the minds of these children through language and literature, pushed along by the hands of Him who created a heart like mine.


Why do I believe that it is Brazil that I feel that I need to go to?

I might only believe that Brazil is where I need to serve because it is the place that my heart has beat for most. What are the beginnings of my heart beat? I must say a long journey of audaciously approaching God pleading a specific place to serve. I have had the great opportunity to serve in many places. Through those experiences I have seen much devastation and much that needed help, my hands don't go so quickly to Brazil to simply help, they reach because I want to love and care, more specifically helpless souls. Children should know love and joy, they should know juvenaility well enough to decipher it from adulthood. These lines don't exist in the poverty of Brazil. The children of Brazil starve for love and care and who better to deliver it than God. I only wish to be a radical vessel of warmth in that motion.

Why am I the person that needs to be sent, outside of all of the other help that is there?

I would hope and pray that I am not much different than the service that is already existing in Brazil. I am simply choosing to put my own gifts and inclinations prompted by God into motion so much so that change is evoked for the kingdom in order that God might smile upon the unity of his children serving for a just, right, and worthy cause.
