Every culture with a coastline has a different version of seafood stew. From New England "chowdah" to San Francisco's cioppino (Jeff's all-time favorite)...our family adores stew. We've decided to celebrate and pray for a different country every month and this month's focus is Brazil. So this week, I decided to make moqueca (pronounced "mo-KEH-kah"), a traditional Brazilian stew made with fish, onions, garlic, tomatoes, cilantro, and coconut milk. Jeff gave it a thumbs up but it was a little exotic for the kids!
Our church is committed to helping the Amazon jungle region of Brazil by sending mission's teams to set up water filters, visiting families in the village, providing dental hygiene education and constructing a church. So it's near and dear to our hearts. It's a fascinating culture marred by corruption and poverty. We're so glad to belong to a church that aims to bring hope and transformation to such beautiful people.

recipe or link to it...or I'll google it! Looks yum...cilantro/coconut=win/win. Sounds Thai?
yum, I love the idea of praying over a country and cooking a meal. Such a great way to give your kids a heart for others
