Our Wonder Couple

This is Junior and Dani. They are the newest couple in our church. What... they are the Only couple in our church. Other than Dawn and me.

We are praising the Lord for their recent Salvation. Both of these kids, I say kids because Junior is 19 and Dani is 17, were born and raised in another religion. It wasn't until just a few months ago, because of a set of “circumstances”, that Junior left that religion. Dani continued for awhile after Juniors exit but then she too began to see that it was time for her to leave.

Not long after that Junior became interested in our coworker Alexandre's ministry in the Habiteto. A friendship and a Bible study began. Just two or three weeks into that study both Junior and Dani made professions of faith in Christ as their Savior.

So, why are they our “Wonder couple?” Well, they both are very talented. Junior is a musical genius, at least from my perspective. There doesn't seem to be an instrument that he cannot play. He can sing. Which is a rare commodity in our circles. Not only that but he knows how to help other people sing! He also does musical arrangements. Dani, though still in high school, is training to be a nurse and she too is musical. She plays the flute.

The real Wonder comes as results of God's gift of salvation. After having been raised in another religion for their entire lives, the fact that they were able to come out is a wonder of God's grace. We're praising the Lord for his blessing.

Both Junior and Dani are young in the Faith but very excited about their new relationship in Christ. Pray with us for them. We are praying that God continues to grow them for His glory.

What Are You Worth?

What are you Worth?  Have you ever thought about what you are worth? In investing circles there is a term used to gauge this exact question, it's called Net Worth. You take all of your assets, like property owned, funds in your bank account, clothes, jewelry, car, etc.. You total all of these things. You then take everything you owe, like mortgage, car loan, and credit card debt, and you subtract these items from the first total. This gives you your net worth. That number represents where you are financially. Most people never stop to think about this number because they don't understand anything about it. They never have two nickels to rub together. They live from hand to mouth and know (or at least believe) nothing will ever change so, they fall into the "daily grind" mentality. Psalm 49 should be a great encouragement to such as these. The sons of Korah write about them. These sons write about all of us. They call all people everywhere to listen to their wisdom. Bo...

Grazi and Cris Are Getting Baptized!

Graziele / Cris Grazilele (hard to pronounce if you are not a Brazilian) and Cris are getting baptized on Saturday night. Baptism is a big step of faith and these young ladies are ready. Grazi accepted the Lord several years ago when Company C was in it's infancy. She was invited to club by a friend, who has since left, and not long afterwards she opened her heart to the Savior. She is a determined twelve going on twenty year old. When Grazi sets her mind on a task she usually gets it done. Dawn has been teaching her Bible lessons and sewing skills recently and she's noted Grazi's abilities. Grazi plays the recorder in o ur orchestra. Cris is Alexandre's youngest sister. She accepted Christ when her older sister Dani shared her own personal decision a few years back. Cris always has a smile on her face and is a ready helper too. She is quiet but gifted. She is learning to play the violin and is also a part of our growing orchestra. Both of these gi...

God Made Clothes

And the Lord God made for Adam and for his wife garments of skins and clothed them. Gen 3:21 I have always heard the following explanation of this verse.  Because Adam and Eve had sinned, they died spiritually. They also lost the right to be in the Garden of Eden and were cursed in other ways. For example, they had made clothes out of fig leaves, but God sacrificed a lamb; thus, God shed blood and made clothes. This sacrifice of an innocent lamb symbolized what Jesus Christ would do in the distant future.  Is this what you have heard? I don't know; it seems like this interpretation is stretching what Moses wrote in the above text. The text says that  God made clothes for Adam and his wife from skins.  We see no blood, we don't know what kind of skins, nor can I imagine God making an animal sacrifice. Did God have to skin animals to make these clothes? Or could he have just made them like he had everything else in the universe just a little while earlier?  To th...
