Merry Christmas From Brazil






















Hey Guys!

We hope this Christmas Season has been good for you and your family. I’ve got to be honest with you though... it doesn’t feel like Christmas here at all. And it’s not just because of the warm temperatures (I’m from South Florida and I can remember warm Decembers), or the lack of Christmas decorations everywhere (even though MJ has the house all decorated-up), or the fact that we’re not doing Christmas presents at all this year (flying Michael, our oldest son, here is what we’re doing instead). And I'll tell you what it is... It’s the absence of friends. We miss you guys! Really, we do. We Love you and our prayer is that Jesus will be more real to you and your family than ever before this holiday season.

We’re going to be taking a break from blogging until the New Year and I’ll tell you why. I was reading a blog the other day and this particular blogger, that I read regularly, had a great idea. He said that since people are busy during the holidays and not really reading a lot online that what he does is re-post some of the top posts from the year. This gives him an opportunity to rest the blog (it takes a lot if time, believe it or not) and to let people see which blog posts had the most traffic during the year. When I read that, it made sense and so that’s what we’re gonna do starting tomorrow, OK? Sweet. Just be ready for some good stuff in 2012. We’re excited about what God is doing here in Terra Boa and we’re glad that we can share it with you: ) So, until then, know that we love you and have a great holiday season!

The pictures up top are of 2 outreaches that we were a part of here in Terra Boa. One was where a church from Jardim Paulista came in and gave free haircuts/lice treatments (gotta love lice!) to the local people here on the mountain. And the other pictures are from where we partnered with a local business in Curitiba to distribute food to some of the poorer people that we minister to here on the mountain.


Love You Guys!

Jim, MJ and the Whole Dunn Clan
