We arrived in Brazil early Tuesday morning after a long flight. We thought for sure that most of us would fall asleep for at least some of the 9 1/2 hour flight but...sleep would be describing it loosely.
Right off the plane we jumped into a bus on our way to The GAP. The drive through the Brazilian landscape on our way to the country was beautiful! The city is settled right in the middle of the mountains. And they are no small mountains!
We settled into our dorms, had a delicious typical Brazilian lunch of fried chicken, black beans and rice and potato salad, and then we were off! Our whole week will be comprised of street evangelism during the day followed up with festas (parties) at night. The church is starting new cell groups and the days will be used to begin relationships with the people to draw them to church with the festas as more sharing opportunities. We each have numerous stories from the day and will hopefully share them soon.
The big story of the night was that Big C was the "Big Celebrity". He stole the show with all the kids (and adults!) at the festa! The love that radiates from his life was a magnet and everywhere he walked the kids followed. If he went inside, they waited outside and chanted for him to come back. He ended the night signing autographs for many of them.
We are off again today. Pray for us as we go into a new neighborhood to share the gospel and invite them to church.
