Vacation month with lots going on…

Family Reunion in WV

Praise the Lord the time in the US was so special. Thanks to all who took some time out to meet while I was in Tulsa and Florida, it was great to catch up! The family reunions were so much fun as well! Happy 90th B-day Grandpa and 80th Grandma, you are the best grandparents in the world!

Discipleship Conference

I got back to Brazil the day before our largest church conference of the year, and even though I was doing a lot of communication and preparations in the US, the entire conference was pure adrenaline, with long hours, little sleep, and a LOT of problem solving :) But the Lord is faithful, and there are still amazing reports coming in from the 100+ denominations represented, 800+ pastors and church leaders who attended. We have this conference once a year about discipleship and cell groups, and it seems like every year is a new record of attendance.

we took 2 boats to visit the river church

The

Scenario for Congresso (front row seats for our group :)

following weekend I led a group of 40 young adults from our church to participate in the huge evangelistic rally (Congresso) in Santarém, and of course gave them the whole tour, visiting our fresh-water beaches, church work in a river community, and behind the scenes look of the Congresso. We arrived Friday in Santarém and early Monday morning…talk about another adrenaline rush :)

after service @ pastor's house

Got back for a “normal” week, then off to a 10-hour drive Abreu e Lima in Pernambuco, where a group of 4 young adults and I ministered for a weekend about holiness at a youth conference. Now we are a week away from our adolescents’ camp, “Fuego“, where my sister and brother-in-law, Beth & Bruno, will be ministering and I’ll be a camp counselor :) Fun, fun…long days, little sleep…and as U. Abe always says, this is just the beginning!
