CAPOIERA!!

This is an example of Brazilian martial art. Kids in the US go to karate or tai-kwan-do. Kids in Brazil do capoiera....a unique combination of martial arts, dance, gymnastics and music. We all got a turn making fools of ourselves "sparring" with Antonio, the teacher. He is also one of the Restoration Ministries pastors. It is beautiful to see his heart for these kids. He shares about God's love for them, encourages them to stay away from bad behaviors (drugs, smoking, etc), to develop self-discipline and to value education.
