I am sending you the information even if it is in our blog with small changes:

See the face book video we posted about YWAM base in Sao Tome and Principe. (https://vimeo.com/123893318)

It's been a long time since we do not communicate for various reasons, but we believe that it is time to explain a few things and so exalt the name of our Lord Jesus who always has wise and loving reasons to lead us to his will.

We stayed a while in Santos (south coast of São Paulo), leading some work for YWAM - "Youth With A Mission" and shepherding a group that started in the city of Santos.

In my learning that when we do not pray enough diligently seeking God's guidance in all that we do, He in a tender and loving way leads us in situations that we may see his direction and that's what happened.

Unusually my mother in law suffered a stroke ischemic, about two years ago and we assume, after prayer and seeking God's direction, take care of her during this period.

It's been a long time even though apprehensive with the clinical picture of it, bedridden and living for appliances. However God has surrounded himself with excellent professionals in the area of health care.

However we have prayed about what to do after all. I have two children, the Jonathan who is now doing the DTS in YWAM base in Curitiba and Patricia, our daughter's heart that we adopted at twelve years of age. He was for several years with my mother in law and now she is back to us.

I left home at eighteen years of age and joined in Ywam Missions. My wife turn the twenty-year-old went to Bethany Seminary in Altonia in the state of Parana here in Brazil and after 30 years of marriage we remain committed to missions.

After praying, seeking the Lord's words and see men of God motivating, encouraging and helping us get direction we decided to get involved with YWAM base in Sao Tome and Principe (YWAM project of Portugal base) under the leadership of our beloved brother Solomon.

Today we are trying to build a network of intercessors, therefore we think about peoples who could join us in intercession and support in this area for us and our ministry.

If you want to get involved in the front line for us in intercession let us know. Will be so important to have your e-mail, phone or WhatsApp to be able to  keep you informed about what God is doing and the steps we have taken about missions.

If you have God's direction for joining us here are some reasons of Intercession:

 1 - Churches to open their doors to received us to share the vision we have at that time.

• If you are a member of a church and feel freedom, talk to your pastor and see the possibility of scheduling a Sunday when we can share with the church our challenges. The purpose is to stand up partners and financial supporters.

• If you have friends with whom to share our challenges you can do this too.

2 - Passport for each member of my family: Jeriel, Elci, Jonathan and Patricia. (We are already working on it)

3 - My trip to São Tomé to know where we will act and have a vision of the need for closer region.

• It is marked my first journey on July 1 this year, when I will know that island and will be ministering in DTS - "School of Discipleship Training" for a few days.

• The challenges we have for it: My passport and travel expenses that will be around R$ 7,000.00 Reais or almost 2.000 thousand dollars.

• Note - I must say that I am not going to ride, but to build foundations to go to established ultimately there with my family.

4 - Our final trip as a family, the right time.

5 - Financial Support to stay in the Ywam Base in San Tome and Principe. Every YWAM worker is responsible for it.

NOTE - If you feel the heart to raise funds from friends, churches etc ... feel free.

God bless and thanks for caring.

If you need our Bank Account let me know.

Bless you

Jeriel Silva and family
