Hello!
Traveling to a new city to proclaim the word of God makes me feel like we are truly living out the book of Acts! Tonight, we went to Lajeado to share our Romans 6 message with a crowd who are cell leaders from Sammy´s church, along with fellow church leadership colleagues who Sammy served with prior to starting his church. What was particularly great about this group was how attentive they were during the message!
A BIG highlight for Jason is seeing the spriritual growth and leadership development in Jaime & Jociele Weiand. They are presently cell group leaders in Lajeado who are members in Bom Retiro. They are high capacity leaders who will be impacting their city for a long time, bearing fruit some 100, 60, 30 fold (Matthew 13.23)
Jason changed up his message on Romans 6 a little bit. And it was powerful! The girls had the challenge of sharing their same testimony, but each had faith that God would use what He wanted for each person that was there tonight.
After Sammy concluded with prayer and a challenge to live as the new person that Paul talks about in Romans 6, a time of fellowship followed.
Tonight was tricky because we did not have anyone but Sammy to translate for us. Jessie and Risa were able to talk to a man in a mix of Spanish, English, German, AND Portuguese. Out of it we learned that this man´s office was the purpose of our meeting location (we met in a business center). It was quite the conversation!The spiritual hunger and attentiveness to the Word tonight, reminded me of the Thessalonian Christians--
And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is at work in you who believe.
-- 1 Thess 2:13
