Please pray for our school Escola Crista Agua Viva and project Crianças do Rei, we are at the time of year when parents enroll their children for the next school year starting January 2018. We are the only Christian school for miles around please pray more Christian parents will support the school and see the value and need to enroll their children. Where Christian and family values are taught. Please continue to pray for Crianças do Rei….we still need to reach the target for covering all expenses for the Project.
You can be Heroes….or Sugar Candy?
You can be Heroes…..but what will it mean?
As I am writing I have been listening to David Bowie’s song “Heroes” A song connected with the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989….in fact David Bowie wrote it in Berlin some years before. But those of us old enough will also remember the fervent prayers of God’s people during the time of the Cold War….I certainly remember. But today where are the prayer warriors of the church? A sinister agenda has now arisen - And we are as it were witnessing all around us the world dismantling Biblical values everywhere especially in Education. - Perilous times are ahead because there has been absence of salt which is salty and light which has grown dim during these days. For years many settled into a safe comfortable non offensive PC Christianity as a lost world sank deeper into moral decline - We now see the folly of this complacency ….Two thoughts -

The Only Thing Necessary for the Triumph of Evil is that Good Men Do Nothing. - Edmund Burke
“Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.” ― Dietrich Bonhoeffer
At the end of this newsletter I re- wrote David Bowie’s anthem “Heroes” My ode to answered prayers in 1989 and challenge us to seek our King again. The King of Kings and Lord of Lords - Jesus Christ.
On Youtube you can find backing music for this...although David Bowie’s original music may be easier to keep time with the new verses.
I, I see a king
And you, you see him too?
Though nothing, will drive us away
We can beat them, just when we pray
We can be heroes, trust and obey
And you, you can have faith
And I, I’ll agree in prayer
'Cause we're followers, following Christ
Yes we're followers, that is the fact
Though nothing, will keep us from praying
We can change a world, just when we pray.
We can be heroes, forever and ever
What'd you say?
I, I wish you could see....
Like the eagles, like eagles can see
Though nothing, nothing will keep us from prayer
If we have Christ, forever and ever
Oh yes, we can be heroes, trust and obey
I, I see the king
And you, you see him too!
Though nothing, will drive us away
We can be heroes, just go and pray
Our King is with us, trust and obey
I, I can remember (I remember)
Praying, for the wall (for the wall)
And the news, that showed it all (showed it all)
And we prayed, we prayed for the wall (for the wall )
And the prayers, the prayers were answered..
Oh we beat them, forever and ever
Then we can be heroes, praying in faith
We can be heroes, we can be heroes
We can be heroes, trust and obey.
We can be heroes
Were nothing, nothing without our King
but we can be heroes, when we obey
We can be heroes, let's change the world.
With love and best wishes
Peter, Josi and Dorothy
