More details about our Mission Judgement House trip to Brazil have been finalized and we are excited to share this information with you and hope that you will consider joining the team.

What we'll do:

This year the National Mission Board of Brazil is hosting an evangelistic outreach called "Operation Jesus Transforms", or "Trans" for short, as it is known.

    Jesus TransformsIt is a missionary effort that involves 
    hundreds of volunteers in the
    proclamation of the gospel in cities and
    neighborhoods not yet reached, and
    where the knowledge of the true God is
    absent.


    The NMBB and Judgement House International are joining forces to evangelize a small town called Cascavel ("Rattle Snake", in English), located 37 miles southeast of Fortaleza city and 5 miles from the deep blue Atlantic Ocean.

Date and Itinerary

The dates are set for July 10 - 18, 2010. We will depart Miami International Airport and fly to Manaus, the main city at the heart of the Amazon Rain Forest. After going through customs, we will take a three hour flight to Fortaleza on the northeast cost of Brazil. On the 11th, the team will travel by bus one hour to reach the project destination in the town of Cascavel.

Weekly Schedule

The teams that we have sent to help with Judgement House, normally arrive on Saturday or Sunday, and participate in worship services with the locals. 

On Monday, teams begin to work on construction, room set-up, and advertising of the presentation through Wednesday. The script that will be presented is a "local" version of "Collision" or "Colisão".

               Colisao

The dress rehearsal happens on Thursday evening and the actual presentation begins on Friday and runs until Sunday.

During the presentations, the Team helps in different capacities: sound, lighting, pray walker, security, anything that does not require  knowledge of the language.
 
Food and Accommodation

During the project in Cascavel the Team will have their meals with the other volunteers and Judgement House leaders. Meals will be cooked/prepared at the project site.

One of the highlights of the trip will be the location of your accommodations. The team will be staying at a small Inn located on the Caponga Beach, just 5 miles from the actual site. Accommodations require two people per room.
