Saturday evening the men from our three churches: Esperança, Calvário, and Nova Vida, got together for some fellowship and a challenge from the Word. The topic was missions and the speaker was Brazilian church planter pastor Lucio. He and his wife Claudineia are planting a church in Boituva (Carlinhos and took our class to visit them a few weeks ago) and are leading the way for other Brazilian brothers and sisters in Christ to follow. Eight of our eleven men participated.
Sunday afternoon Dawn, Abby, and I went again to Habiteto to minister with the group from Calvário. We had 39 kids who heard the Word and were able to share with us. 
This weeks "talk-time" brought another interesting story. Natalia told me that a neighbor had cast a spell on her family, threatening to kill several of her family members. Natalia's brother told her that in order to protect her grandmother Natalia needed to fast and pray. A horrendous story but some good advice from her brother. Both Natalia and her friend Talita had some good questions about the Bible and salvation. Jessicia and her sister Gabriela were also part of the conversation. All of these girls need salvation. Please pray that I will be able to share the Savior with them this next week.
Sunday evening we saw our best number attendance in quite awhile with 65 present. Pastor Davi gave a good challenge from the Word as he began a short series on the life of Davi. After the service we had soup night with several of our ladies bringing their favorite soups. It was a good time of food and fellowship.
Pray for us as we hope to begin our move early this week. Thank you for thinking of and praying for our ministry here in Sorocaba!
