a short update

The rain is finally here and the temperature is dropping and that makes me really happy.
I'm now already back here in Barão for a while since the last post. Last weel Pastor Valter and I had a meeting, planning a soccer tournament. The tournament will be on the 22nd of December. We hope that we can get around 8 teams and that the city will support us financially. We chose "drugs I'm out of here" as our theme for the tournament. In this part of the city where I live the drugs are a huge problem and we want to make the kids aware of the consequences of consuming drugs. We hope that a local church that works with drugs addicts will send one of their staff members to have a short talk about drugs to the kids. I'm exited to see what this event will do and what God will be doing in those kids lives.
I'm in the middle of preparing my first bible study for tomorrow evening. The theme is about the consequences of sin and the salvation plan of God. Because it is my first one here and it's in Portuguese I'm also very nervous about it. I hope the message will be clear and that everything will go well.
Last Thursday I had the privilege to be live on screen in my home church in Switzerland. They asked me if I would like to be skyped in for mission evening at the church. I would like to say thanks again to my church for giving me that opportunity.

Well, beside that not a lot had happened since my last post. We had last Sunday a service here at our house. It wasn't well attended but we know that God is working in them.
Everything is going well from my side and the work is going on, slowly but it is going.

Be blessed and thanks for your interest.
