Hello Everyone,
We made it!! The weather was beautiful when we landed, and there was no need for rain boots yet!
Once we made it into Bom Retiro, Jessie and Risa went to Christen´s to settle and rest for a bit before dinner. We enjoyed a fabulous meal along with fellowship and catching up with Sammy and his family. After 2 days of traveling without sleep we finally got to bed at 2 am.
Saturday morning (or afternoon since we slept until one!!) Christen introduced Jessie and Risa to friends all around downtown Bom Retiro. Christen had invitations to church that we were able to extend to women we met. We got to visit a girl who is bed ridden with back pain, and we were able to pray over her. In the mean time, Jason spent time in fellowship with Marcia and preparing his messages.
Tonight we had the opportunity to travel to a town called Faxinal in the outskirts of Bom Retiro. Douglas, a member of Sammy´s church started a cell group that has grown so much that they have birthed a new church! Jason spoke about heaven from Revelation 21& 22. It was so crowded inside that they had to create overflow seating outside! After the message, there were 3 baby dedications, and then a time of prayer that was very powerful! There is a lot of pagan worship here, so Sammy prayed over people who had demonic bondage. This time of prayer after the teaching portion of the service is a regular and necessary part of the ministry in these growing churches.
We are excited to see what God has in store for tomorrow´s Sunday service in Hope Chapel Bom Retiro Do Sul :)
"Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to him be glory in the church by Jesus Christ to all generations forever and ever, Amen" Ephesians 3:20
Tchau!
-From the Team.
Risa, Jessie & Jason
