2013 was a year of great losses that left us with enormous "Saudades" (missing loved ones). However, these loved ones
who went on home to be with the Lord our Father, left us great teachings of loving. They left this world and we who are still here will need to continue their ministry. Unfortunately we cannot even begin to compare to them, butwe can do our
best. This is what they would want and it is also the will ofour Lord Jesus Christ for sure. Therefore we will continue this ministry, now weare not holding hands with them, but ourspirits are connected tothem and to ourheavenly Father!
2014 has begun and we pray the Lord will be in our lives caring and protecting each one of us as
we seek to help others with the same LOVE as that of JESUS CHRIST!

"HE HAD A BIG PART IN OUR LIVES!"

Flashes of Recife...
We ended the year of 2013 giving out food baskets every month (Thanks to IDES).
Homeless, wandering individuals and those who can't have hot meals at their living place received hot meals from the Azevedo's home, provided by the IDES donations. Through small projects 20 families received water filters which were given by IDES and 20 more will be receiving the other filters. Most of these families didn t realize the importance of having filtered water. We showed them details of how to use the filters and reasons to use them, like the fact that
not using them, they will have serious diseases in their homes and a high risk for their children.
IDES also provided funds to purchase chickens for three families (this is still in process, due to change of families.
First families moved away without explanation).
three ladies start their own sewing business. These sewing machines are also thanks to IDES which has helped our
people so much.
Another project due in March 2014, which we know will be abig success is the sewing "jachines purchased to help

Our main GOAL and PURPOSE for the year of 2014 is the purchased a site for CAEC (Ministry to needy families).
There will be a Daycare center for the children to stay while the parents go to work. There will be a school where young people and adults can improve their skills to get
jobs or find means of self support. (Reading and Writing classes for the illiterate, computer skills, cooking andother professional courses).
And of course we cannot forget the main purpose. We will build a Chapel where all can come to worship the Lord without fear of being turned away.
YOUR PRAYERS AND FINANCIAL SUPPORT MEAN LIFE TO YOUR MISSIONARIES AND THEIR KINGDOM OUTREACH!
