Hey Everyone!
I’ve just arrived in Goias state of Brasil, near Brasilia… But since I’ve just arrived, I have no news from here, but plenty of news from Curitiba, where I spent the last week and a half.
I was in Curitiba for a conference/outreach that involved about 120 Americans participated in, and then about 200 Brasilians attended the conference, and many helped out with the outreach as well. The conference consisted of many classes on how to teach and how to pray for people, as well as intercession. I enjoyed the seminars, but I think I enjoyed getting to know people from all over Brasil even better. I really felt like I needed to go to the conference to make connections of people I will be working with here in Brasil, and I did meet people who I am planning on coming back here and working with.
The first few nights of the conference, Randy Clark, and American evangelist, spoke and then the people who were on the team from the US prayed for people, the tent and churches that the meetings were held in were packed!! We saw lots of people get saved and lots of people get healed from every type of illness, from a little boy who had a high fever, and we saw his fever go down in minutes, to blind people seeing, lame people walking, and deaf hearing. It was awesome! God did alot of things in people’s lives there.
The second part of the conference, we broke up into groups of 12-15, which included Americans and Brasilians, and we went out into local churches and we did evangelism in the streets, and had meetings at night in the churches.
On the street in the center of town, we came across a large group of teenagers, really ghetto kids, into hip hop and all. One of the Americans on the team is a youth pastor and he has a club for kids, so he just started talking to the kids, telling them about the club he has and how much Jesus loves the kids who go to his club, and how much Jesus loves the kids we were talking to. I was translating for him, and some of the kids were just listening, really attentive, really taking in every word he was saying. What an awesome opportunity to tell these kids about Jesus!!
I had a really good time and made some really good friends, some of whom I will see in Rio when I go there, and one of whom I am staying with right now! I’m taking a few days off here, my body’s immune system is pretty low, and I’m feeling a bit sick today, so I just need to rest. We had a very busy schedule in Curitiba, but it was so worth it! God really showed up there, and we had an awesome time working with the Brasilian churches there.
Prayer Requests:
That the door stays open for me to go to Iris Ministries in Sao Paulo
Good health
Praise for safety traveling to Goias (15 hours in the car…)
Praise for all the things God did in Curitiba
