Ralph and Louis left Rio this morning and are headed back home. It was a sad farewell as our time together here was precious. Our fellowship, our early morning prayers, the openness and quality of our dialogue, the experiences of joy and laughter as we dwelt amongst the people, making ourselves accountable to the people, reflecting the very nature of the Christ in all that we said and did drew multitudes to the message that we carried. Our exposure to village life has caused all of us to revisit our entire value system.
There is so much more to this life as we know it back home. We never wanted for anything.
Ministry appeared to be almost an afterthought, as our lives proclaimed the message. Ralph and Louis excelled in their ministries. It filled me with great pride to see the sons of our soil deliver the Word of God with such clarity and accuracy. Ap Renan and his wife Ps Neulma, the wonderful family that hosted us, represent a new door, a new relationship. They clearly took to this message.
On Thursday we are establishing a new a forum that will bring the most influential leaders of this city together with a view to developing strategy that will take this message to every part of the South American continent. Please remember this meeting in your prayers.
I am then heading off to the Sao Paulo conference that is being held over this week end. I will keep you posted. Love and regards to all !
