We had a wonderful week! It's great to be able to spend this special time of the year with good friends.
Wednesday we visited João’s mother Marcia. João was baptized last week and his mother was touched by the message. During the visit our coworker Joelma shared her testimony and Marcia made a profession of faith!
That was a VERY great start to the Easter weekend. Friday we showed the film Thief in the Night. Do you remember that movie? It was hard for me to get over the goofy clothing and old cars. Did we really look like that back in the 60s?
Our group, however, thought that it was a very interesting film and they had questions about Christ’s return. It was a rainy night but we still had ten that watched and ate popcorn.
Saturday at Club we had about 38 kids and teens on another rainy day. Bible Club is in a bit of a transition. We now have three teams in what is called the Alpha Sector! The teams will compete for rewards, special outings and a promotion to the Delta Sector! The kids LOVE the change and our team’s mission for this week is to invite back kids who once were a part of the Club but for some reason left. We will boldly go where no man has gone before to seek them out! Well, not quite. But we will invite a lot!
Sunday morning was our “Sunrise” breakfast. Yum! Though it rained both morning and afternoon we still had 30 and 39 respectively.
We had some friends from Hope Baptist for lunch on Sunday. Below from left to right front row: Zelha, Isis. Second Row: Adriele, Bruna, Lucas. Third Row: Dawn, Alenildes, Jorge, Abigail, Joice, Me.
In the afternoon service we had a kid’s cantata and teen play about the story of Abraham and his sacrifice of his son Isaac.
Alexandre preached on Abraham’s obedience and how it relates to the Easter story. Several hands were raised at the invitation.
Progress Update on our campaign, 10 Months for Faith. We have about $2222 set aside to purchase land. We are seeing God bless with funds from this side of the Atlantic and are looking for His direction with regard to locale. We ask for your prayer help please!
