Tuesday ended up
being a very full day, and for the first time since leaving Columbia, no one in
the girls dorm room uttered a word after returning to the camp! After breakfast
we traveled 30 minutes or so to a Junior High / Highschool in Suzano, a neighboring
town of Mogi Das Cruzes.
Here in Brasil, the
schools are amazingly very open to receiving outside groups, even Protestant /
Evangelical groups. This year Pastor
Denis had lined up several schools in which they were openly desiring having our
group present.
Tuesday included two
presentations at the same school, morning and afternoon, with two separate
groups of students. Total number of students present topped somewhere around
800 junior high & highschool.
Wednesday was another school, this time a private school, (private
doesn't necessarily mean Christian students) and a smaller group. Thursday will include one or two more
schools, where the same program will be presented.
Tuesday also
finished off with a dinner hosted by some very fabulous hosts in their
home. The entire team plus 10+ other
guests enjoyed a delicious home-cooked meal and a great time of fellowship! Such a treat to be invited into their homes!
The program itself
includes a fun dueling of the piano between 3 of us, a dance, vocal trio,
drama, testimony, and wrapped up with a very clear presentation of the
Gospel. Though this is not a scenario
for seeing immediate results, seeds are being planted, and all of these
students are being invited to the upcoming English camp this weekend, where
there will be even more opportunity to present the Gospel clearly.
Please continue to
keep the team in prayer….for clarity, for unity , and especially for health,
the cold weather has meant that a couple of us are fighting colds and sore
throats.
