February Brazil Trip

Please contact me for more specific information about my travel plans for February. I will be part of a team that includes Sam T and Matt. There are certain limitations to what I can share or describe online.

Below, Matt (second from right) and I are pictured with friends Yuji and Najara, visiting from Brazil on January 1, 2008. What a wonderful visit and an opportunity for Matt to learn firsthand about what's going on in that country.

Our Brazil itinerary will be as follows:
February 20 (Wed): Depart Los Angeles

Feb 21 (Thu): Arrive São Paulo (Guarulhos) for a week of meetings with local leadership contacts. We are hoping to meet with both Portuguese speaking and Japanese speaking church and community leaders in the greater São Paulo region. This pattern of interaction will be repeated in the various cities we visit:

Feb 27 (Wed): Depart Sao Paulo; Arrive Londrina.

Feb 28 (Thu): Depart Londrina; Arrive Curitiba.

Mar 1 (Sat): Depart Curitiba; Arrive Campo Grande.

Mar 3 (Mon): Depart Campo Grande; Arrive Manaus.

Mar 5 (Wed): Depart Manaus and return to USA

Mar 6 (Thu): Arrive LAX

Please be in prayer for the team:

• Challenges of climate, language, culture and AGE!
• Financial support for PJ and Matt.
• Open doors and welcome in Brazilian groups and agencies.
• Safety and good health in every aspect of the trip.
