CIRCUS BUS VICTORY

Mobile Circus - We are in need of a vehicle and a new tent

The goal of Kirsten Solveig and Raimundo Nonato Valentim Pinheiro is to purchase a vehicle in Brazil - a used Minibus that will act as a transport for the Circus, carrying our tent, puppet show etc. and members of the team to smaller towns and communities in the interior of the North East of Brazil



By purchasing the minibus, first of all it undergoes a reform, and then we will regularly be taking trips into the interior bringing the Circus team along with all the circus materials(thousand of kilos ), performing shows for children, and offering mobile training courses and seminars for the local churches focusing on evangelism, work with children and work with puppets etc.

Also a small bookshop is intended to be a part of the interior. CEARA is a state in the Northeast.

Some regions have very few churches, whilst others are crowded with churches, often living in disunity.
A part of the interior of the State is called the Sertao-( drought ) the poorest part in the interior.
In some regions, especially in the interior the Catholic church is very influenced by idolatry.

The capital, Fortaleza, has millions of people and many of the suburbs are very violent. Use of drugs is common amongst the young people, and many children suffer from violence, abuse and neglect.

We have put up the following expected budget -                                                      
Purchase of vehicle 15.000 US $ (second hand mini bus )


Reform of vehicle 8.000 US $ ( mecanic work, painting, transforming inside and putting a lugage carrier on the roof )

This is the Circus Tent

Helping one another in order to get the tent raised !

A really big team challenge after a week of training cami, is to raise the tent, here it is  in the Santos Dumont Surburb of Maranguape, Ceara - in January 2010, with help from local people, and then the Clowns for Christ without Boarders are able to say welcome to all the children present in the tent!

Do you want to be a part of the next impact? For sure it is going to be an unforgetful experience for you, the rest of the team  and for many children too.

"How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who sayto Zion, "Your God Reigns !"
