Holiday Get Away!

This Friday is a holiday here in Palmas, and we are looking forward to going to a place where there is a nice cold creek to swim in. The church has been given transporation (free) by bus to get everyone to the event. Pray for a great day. The month of May is dedicated to the family, and this outing will be for our entire church family.

Fifth Anniversary of Women's Group in Palmas

It was a night of celebration! We celebrated five years of Women's meetings here in Palmas at the Santo Amaro church. Saturday April 25th was the date and the church was really full, the challenge was given to bring a visitor and many did. The service was completely conducted by the women of the church and in the end we had many refreshments. Natinha preached this evening, and handed out some "prizes" to some of the women, such as who came to the most services, who is the newest member of the group, and even gave a small gift to all the little women who attend the services with their mothers.

Some pictures follow as well as the video of the choreography that was performed that evening.

Enjoy!

PALMAS GOOD NEWS CAMP APRIL 2009

Above a glimpse of just some of the things that happened at camp. If you click on it you should be able to see a bigger version. Video and more pictures to come.

Survivor Tocantins

I'm not a fan of the show, but I thought I would share that this seasons episodes of Survivor were shot here in Tocantins, the state we live in. The town/area is called Jalapão (about two hours away from here) it is a national park, don't know how much damage they caused there but I am sure there was plenty.

Palmas Camp 2009

We are almost ready to leave for Camp again. Typically we have camped during the Carnival holiday here in Brazil, but that wasn't possible for us this year so now we are taking advantage of the long holiday weekend and camping during Holy week. Tonight 20:00 we are leaving for camp and won't be back until Sunday evening. Pray for those who do not know Christ during this time as there often many who visit with us at our camp. We will be baptizing some as well during our camp. Look for some photos to come sometime next week.

God bless and have a great resurrection Sunday!

Celebrating 10 Years of Churches in Brazil

Hallelujah, Glory to God, God is Awesome, and many others were just some of the ways people were expressing their praise to God. While our time was spent in some meetings, the majority of our time was spent in worship, and it was well spent. We were blessed to have many different people singing, men's and women's choirs, a theatrical play with an awesome evangelical message, various dance teams including the children of the church, preaching from the word of God, the ordination of two pastors Natal, and Jimenez, many different seminars presented by Don Dennison and Ed Rosenberry, a meeting with seminary students followed by an emotional Washing of the Saints Feet celebration, and of course a trip to the beach since we are close to the shore. Oh yeah, and we did all of this in just four days and I am almost positive I let something out. Pictures and video will follow but I wanted to let you all know that this was the best time ever for our churches here in Brazil, a time of unity and fellowship and of course a great time of worshipping our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ together! God Bless!
