Last night was a fun night. We went to the market in downtown Goiania. There were a lot of clothes there and homemade jewelry. It was a neat experience. After the market we headed to the Goiais vs internacional game. The was not even full but the fans were in full force! I dont think that there was one minute where the fans were not cheering! It was an exciting experience. Oh, and the stadium wasnt even full... I can´t imagine how loud it would be when it was full. Sadly, the goiais did not pull it out in the end. The internacional scored towards the end of the game and goiais could not recover.
During the game there was a camera guy that came near our group. He found out that we were americans, so of course he had to interview someone. Coach, since she speaks portuguese, was interviewed. Coach was able to state our purpose here in Brazil and also to advertise for Progject Grow! THe camera man did a shot of the group and we got to scream and yell Goiais! Later we found out that this clip of us was not only going to be on local channels but the whole country of Brazil! God sure set that up perfectly!
The interviewer was a well known guy here in Goiania as far as sports are concerned. He offered us an invitation to play in that stadium sometime this week. We are guaranteed and opportunity, all we have to do is find a team to play against! Pray that that works out because that is just another opportunity for us to spread the gospel!
Today we are off to teach various sunday school groups. Ages are from 3 to adult! Pray that our words are clear and their hearts are open to what we are saying. Pray that our words spark something in their curiosity!
Thank you for all of your prayers... we know that a lot of things on this trip would not be possible without your prayers. We feel them full force!
Obrigada! Tchau!

What an incredible treat to hear all this good news. When we give God our lives He takes them and blesses them and increases them so that HE gets the maximum glory which He NEVER shares with us. That's why we have our slogan, NOT I, BUT CHRIST on our front wall at TRBC. Your prayer and cheering section is in place back here at home. We can't wait to see all of you in a few days.
ReplyDeleteVery encouraging to read the latest from the team. Wonderful how God is able to use all of our circumstances for his glory! I have kept the prayer team at Immanuel Bible Church updated each Sunday (weeks before the trip began) of your status and they pray for this mission during the week. Prayers (petitions, praises, thanksgiving) abound for you all!
ReplyDeleteLadies... it is so encouraging to hear what God is up to. Thank you for your willingness to get out and be God's hands and feet. We are praying for you and are excited about what God will be up to through you and in you in Vianopolis. You are blessed to be a blessing!
