Tatiani’s Dream
If you were to walk on the backside of the slum of Papagaio in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, along the street were LightHouse Papagaio is, you just might hear a lesson like this being taught to the kids-BE TOUGH ENOUGH TO TELL THE TRUTH!
The first day that the LH Papagaio was opened we asked each one if they had used or are using drugs. Months later, after being taught to tell the truth, 9 year old Tatiani has spoken out!
The night before she spoke out, she had a horrifying dream that she shared with our LH teacher, Jozibel.
Tatiani said,
“I dreamed last night that I was on the street and a man and woman were following me. Then the woman came up to me offering me to sniff thinner (the most common drug for these slum children). I told her no! But she kept insisting and came after me, then the man started to run after me so I ran up into the bico (deep inside the slum) to hide but couldn’t find a safe place! Then I saw Tia Jozibel and Tio Marcelino (the LH workers) at the LightHouse. I called out to them and they heard me and reached out and grabbed me, I knew I was safe there! I was so scared!”
Please pray for Tatiani. She whispered in Jozibel’s ear that YES, she has used drugs, smoking marijuana. We are not sure if she is using drugs now or not but we would like for you to give Tatiani extra prayer this month because this has come up and she is evidently struggling with it. She is a very hard hearted girl and she is our leader of the pack. Having a great deal of power and influence over all the other girls, we would like to reach her the most. To see that the rest will follow her strong lead to the path of Eternal Life!
