Fernando, So nice to hear from you! How are you doing? I am so busy these days! I am working a lot. Tomorrow and Thursday are my days off. I have lots to do. Planning a wedding is a lot of work. Its crazy!!! But I am so happy and very excited. I am soon going to be a wife and then a mom! It is a dream come true! Mike and I went out to eat tonight. It was nice to just hang out. We were able to relax and have some good conversation. Remember the time we went out for pizza for your birthday. That was a night I will never forget! Fernando we shared a lot of good times together.....you really blessed my life and you continue to bless me!!! SO you are working a lot. How is it going? How are things at the house? Are you praying about what the Lord wants for you? Where He wants you to be? What He wants you to be doing? I know at your age there are so many things to think about. A lot of big decisions to be made that will shape your future. Where do you see yourself a year from now? What do you see yourself doing? Do you have a plan? Having a plan with lots of prayer is so important. I would love to hear what you feel the Lord is saying to you. Are you still wanting to come to the USA? What is the Lord saying about that? What about Alexandre and Lorinda? What do they say? It is so important that you listen to your spiritual leaders.... they hear from God. There is HUGE blessing in respecting your spiritual leaders. They are very wise and they love you a lot! They helped me out so much when I left. They gave me a lot of good advice. Don't be in a hurry to do anything, unless you know without a doubt that is what the Lord has for you! How is my son? Are you taking good care of him? Give him my love okay! Tell him I miss him sooooo much! Be a good example for him Fernando. Well its getting late. Say hi to everyone for me. I love you! Take care and be good! Hugs and more hugs,Charlene
My name is Fernando Rocha. I am 21 years old and live in Belo Horizonte, Brasil. Between the ages of 6 – 12 I was homeless and lived on the streets. Life was very hard. I saw many friends end up in jail or be killed. When I was 12 years old some people from a church brought me to a house for street boys and I came to know God. He changed my way of living. I went from a hopeless life of drugs and crime to a life of faith and hope in Jesus Christ. (Galatians 5:5-6)
This change happened because people invested in my life. Now I work in a program called Masters Commission (MCUMI) that works to save the lives of other street kids. As part of my character building process, I go with a team to the slums where we play games with the children and give food to the adults. This helps them learn about God. Through Masters Commission peoples’ lives are changed. (Romans 12:2)
Before I learned about God I didn’t have any expectations for my life. Now I have a dream to run a house for street boys, to teach them about God and to help them have a life of faith and hope. If it can be done for me, it can be done for others. (2 Corinthians 1:2-5)
Won’t you please consider investing in my life as I work to invest in the lives of others? This can be in the form of a one time or monthly donation. You can be confident that your sponsorship will make a difference. I don’t have help from the government or any organization. I live by faith. With your contribution and your faith you can partner with God to impact the nations. Will you join me?
By clicking on the MCUMI link at http://children-mcbrasil.org/mcbrasil/aboutmc.htm and then going to the “donate now” button, you will find a safe, secure and tax exempt way to support what God is doing in my life. Or you can send a check payable to MCUMI to P.O. Box 279512, Sacramento, CA USA 95827-9512. Be sure to write my name in the memo line!
Thank you for your time. I hope that God will bless you, your family and your house and that God’s provision will be upon you.
Your brother in Christ,
