Starbucks downtown on a Monday night

Paulista Avenue..."Wall Street" of Latin America

Paulista Avenue is not only the home for many

international and Brasilian banks, but it's also home

to over 100,000 Paulistas! The video crew spent

Wednesday morning getting video of people,

the metro, buildings and traffic, but mainly

people!

Interviews!

Ricky, Mary and John have spent the entire week

interviewing missionaries, missionary kids,

and students. They're getting stories of what God

is doing here in Sao Paulo through Zoe.

Video crew at Senac

One of the campuses of Senac University is just minutes

from our neighborhood. Chris B, Sean and Colby have

made a lot of friends on this campus.

I really like this picture. It shows 3 different conversations.

Colby is with a new friend. Lu and Chris are talking.

Then, the Ricky, Mary and John interview Daniel.

Chris B and Colby at Senac

Chris B, Sean and Colby hit the Senac University

campus almost everyday during the week. At least

one of them is on campus each day building friendships

just by hanging out, going to classes and eating lunch.

These guys are vital to Zoe and are committed to

sharing Christ wherever they are, on campus

and off campus. Good guys to have in Sao Paulo!

Let there be LIGHT! or maybe fire?!

So, what do you do when the power goes out in 18 states of

Brasil, Paraguay and even your own neighborhood?

BONFIRE!

Christian and Victor decided to make light

last night around midnight in the backyard.

First 2 pics are without the flash.

It was a bit unnerving tonight in Sao Paulo...

The power is back on now but for 6 hours, it was dark!

One of the nations largest dams quit functioning

leaving the entire state of Sao Paulo plus 14 other

states and the country of Paraguay in the dark!

It is now just after 4:00 am and our lights just

came on. Millions were stranded after work and

classes at school. The metro shut down leaving thousands

looking to the busses to get home.
