Sorry we haven't posted in a while! We just didn't have access to wifi and we've had some really loooooong days. I really don't even know if I can convey in words how God has been working here. We've fallen in love with the local people here that are reaching into their own communities with God's love.

Jay preached through a translator Sunday morning and Sunday evening and Jonathan led a few songs in English. It was a very special experience and God worked through both services.

Pray as we get last minute items together and work on our testimonies, lessons and messages. #mission #BrazilTeam
