As I mentioned in an email to my prayer team, we arrived safely in Rio de Janeiro at around 9AM on Saturday after traveling through the night. We spent the remainder of Saturday catching up on some rest and eating.
After getting some much-needed sleep last night, our team had an awesome time of worship with the congregation of Central Baptist Church in Barra Mansa. The music was great, but the preaching was not-so-great (I had the privilege of preaching this morning). I preached from Luke 15, and using Jesus´ parables of the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the prodigal son, I focused the message on God´s love and pursuit of the lost. After the service, the church provided lunch for us. After a day and a half, I already know that I love Brazilian food. So far, it loves me, too.
After coming back to our hotel to rest a bit after lunch, we went out to the mission point, a church that was just planted last week by CBC. We spent an hour prayer-walking around this poor section of town, praying for a fruitful harvest this week. Then we came back to the hotel, ate at a restaurant across the street, and got back in the car to go back to CBC for a youth worship service. The music and the preaching were dynamic.
Tomorrow, all 4 of our teams (we divided our group into 4 teams that will minister at 4 different locations) will go to our particular mission points and begin going door-to-door with the gospel. Please pray that the Holy Spirit will lead us to those homes and hearts that He has already prepared for visits. Also pray that Satan and his demons won´t win any victories this week. I can feel the prayer support.
