Brasil 2014, Day 4, July 28

Our 2nd full day of ministry in Salinas has been filled with great joy.  It is Monday, and schools are still in session. Due to the World Cup games being here in Brasil this year, public schools have altered  schedules in order to accommodate the citizenry watching the games. Needless to say, Fubol is VERY popular in Brasil.  

It's funny that we often feel and say that man sets his schedule, when in truth it is God who does. The Bible says that He orders our steps and way (Prov 16:9). So that this 'circumstance' - one not of man, but God - provided us opportuniy to share the gospel with nearly 2,000 students today. From the very youngest in a VBS format, to the oldest in High School through sex education and encouraging the choice of abstinence till marriage, the gospel was proclaimed.  Indeed, God is amazing! 

So that I was able to go to two High Schools today with a small, but powerful, team.  A team that sang popular songs and shared testimony of God's plan for marriage and salvation. And, Gloria de Deus, we saw teens pray to receive Christ. 

To this end, then, keep praying for us as all this continues; for, indeed, the Harvest really is plentiful.  

Deus abençoe, 

Pastor Sam
