Day 6 | Dia 6

Wow! What a day. It is hard to believe how fast the week is flying by. 
Today we continued our door-to-door visits in Santa Brigida.  We broke up into 5 groups and hit the rainy streets.  There were many amazing testimonies, but let me share one.  Pastor Osvaldo, Ashley, Larissa, and myself went to visit the home of an English speaking young man, Manuel.  Manuel introduced us to his mother, grandmother and sister.  After a brief introductory conversation, we moved the conversation to spiritual things (Kicked in our Way of the Master Training). As was the case with many visits, Manuel's mother had the head knowledge, but thought she needed to "fix" herself before coming to Faith in Christ Jesus.  I get so excited when I encounter this situation, because we have such great news - "JUST AS I AM".  After establishing a need for a Saviour through a discussion of the 10 Commandments, Ashley used the EvangeCube to clearly share the gospel.  We informed them that there was a decision to make, would they accept Christ or reject Christ?  The mother proclaimed that she wanted to receive Christ. It was such a blessing to share this harvest with my daughter. 
Back to the church for a quick lunch before a presentation before a large crowd.  Well lunch didn't make it in time so we opted for power bars and headed to the assembly.  The day before we learned of a town celebration and meet with the Secretary of Education.  We were placed on the agenda of the anniversary celebration.  Mike "MC" Marino introduced the team and turned the show over to his daughter Jennifer.  Jennifer gave an incredible testimony to the crowd of kids and adults - 100's.  We then presented the drama and I followed up with an explanation of the drama. 
Back to the church for a late lunch, but first we went to Brother Ivanildo's house to pray.  What an incredible experience that was.  Brother Ivanildo lead the church while they were without a pastor. He has been persecuted by one neighbor in particular and at one time, he was even hit in the face.  We had an incredible share time and prayer time, asking for God's protection and blessings.  Afterwards, we prayed for William - the man who is terrorizing the neighborhood. 
Tonight, we split into two groups. The guys headed to a home visit and had a wonderful worship service - Keith shared his powerful testimony and Mike shared a great message.  The ladies went to a ladies event and had a wonderful time.  Beth Smith shared God's word and Pam Piedlow shared her testimony. 
Big day in Santa Brigida tomorrow, our ladies are doing a ladies event and many ladies have been invited.  Pray that many come and their hearts are open to the gospel.  Go-Tell-Pray. God Bless!
