YEARLY SHORT REPORT

Yearly report of the Ministry Circus Victory Nov. 2010
Dear Friends of Circus Victory - Christian Clowns without boarders

Evaluating here in few lines, the year 2010 nearly coming to an end, with gratefulness in our hearts, for all what the Lord provided of experiences for sure also remembering our intercessors and supporters, helping to make everything possible. We depend on you !

We had 2 big impacts with the circus, one in January, where we did work in Maranguapé, Amanaiara and Sobral in the Ceará State of the Northeast.

In July we did have the second impact, first of all going to Patacas, working in partnership with Davis Lar, Orphanage of Action Internacional, and then going to Fortaleza, to the Henrique Jorge part and Jatoba. And we thank God hundreds of children did respond to the gospel.

We had in both occasions teams of volunteers joining us, going through first of all a week of training. And it was a real experience of growth in the lives of most of them.

Also here in October the month of the child, we have been invited to more than 10 events at churches, schools etc. reaching out to thousand of children, through creative apresentations for children, training local people to join as clowns and performers too. Also in Juazeiro do Norte during the impact there, in partnership with YWAM, many children were ministered too.

We are in a campaign in order to get a bus, and so far we have been able to raise around 10 000 reais towards the buy. Please pray with us in order to get the last part, and find the right one, and see the dream come trough.

We have as a couple bought( we paid 1/3 of the price so far, the rest we are paying over 5 years, as we did took up a loan.) a land next to a lake in the municipality of Aquiraz. And at the land, we have the oficial address of the Association Victory too, as 2 smaller existing buildings serves as store rooms for a part of the circus material. We have started to build our house on the land too, but not moved out there yet, but hope to in the beginning of 2011. We plan to be able to run training camps for the circus there in the future, and also to run a rehab centre there.

In January 2011 we are taking a team to the North, in order to work reaching out to river dweller communities, in partnership with another mission: Alcance Maritimo- Maritime Reach of YWAM ( http://www.amazonreach.org/ ). It is a 2 week trip and we are already making preparations to the impact.

We are  wishing you all really blessed Christmas Season, thank you for the interest in our work.
God bless you ! Missionaries Valentim Pinheiros, Patacas, Municipality of Aquiraz, Ceara State of Brazil
