Hello blogging buddies! So, before you watch it, let me explain the video below. Currently, there are indigenous tribes in Brazil who are first of all completely lost from the truth of Christ's love. One of the worst things going on in these groups is infanticide of children if they are illegitimate or have any sort of birth defect. A group of YWAMers made a movie to expose this horrible problem, and it will be coming out in theaters on the mainland pretty soon, I believe. We are fighting hard against this, by emailing letters to the Brazilian government as well as the U.S. government to stop this horrible thing, making it illegal. Up until now the Brazilian government doesn't care too much about what happens to the children in these groups but we want to stop that because every life is incredibly important!!!!!! So, by watching this video you are helping support the cause we are fighting for to free innocent children from messed up tribal traditions. It's really hard to watch so if you can't watch the whole thing that's ok. It's especially hard if you have children. By the way Hakani is a little girl who was buried alive but survived, shot at with arrows by her grandpa but survived and shunned from her tribe as a little baby but still survived. She was saved by YWAMers down near her tribe and she is the reason we are fighting for this - she has no problems whatsoever and is such a special little girl! Her name means "smile" bless you!

That was one of the most heart wrenching things I have EEEEEEEEEEEVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR SEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I shouldn't have watched it, it makes me feel so terribly sick. Oh my heart aches for those children....Jesus be with them.
I'm sorry - I know it's super hard to watch. :-( The thing is that it's real and that's what sucks. Thanks for watching though, you're helping raise awareness and hopefully soon we will see a shift in government.
oh man, I sure hope so! How disgusting are those people! How could they do such a thing? They need Jesus SO badly!
Yeah, the tradition in that tribe is that if there is a birth defect, if a baby is a twin, if the parents are unwed etc. that it will bring evil spirits on their tribe - so they want to prevent that I guess. Unfortunately now their tribe is dying off because they keep killing the next generation! And in this clip.. just for your peace of mind.. they were throwing chocolate cake on the kid and actually while shooting it, made a game out of it which was fun for them! And nearly all the actors in this film are survivors of something like this!
Wow I write long comments. I'm passionate about it I guess.
Um.....the video is a fake.
