Baptism and Barbecue!

Thursday night and Friday we were busy teaching; Mike taught on mentoring, counseling, preaching, and the six things a leader must forget. I (Conrad) taught on the character and skills of leader from Nehemiah: the balancing act between being and doing.

Yesterday we were invited to participate in a baptism service at the camp. Three people were baptized, and they have a practice of having the person who has been discipling the new believer present them to be baptized and escort them to the water. The water looked a little chilly, but it was exciting to be a part! Afterward we enjoyed a "churasco" Brazilian barbecue and played some futebol.

Last night I had the chance to speak with a group of youth leaders in Suzano, a nearby church plant from Igreja Biblia Brasiliera in Mogi das Cruzes. It was a great time to share principles and ideas and encourage them.
