First Fruits

There was a lot going on last week. We had as usual our small groups on Wednesday and Friday and on Thursday we went to visit a new village in the interior. We had the opportunity to meet new people and make new friendships. On Saturday we had again our soccer school in the morning and in the afternoon we had kid's time. After the lesson Rozi, Pastor Valter's wife had, she gave the opportunity to the kids accept Jesus as their saviour. So 9 kids accepted Jesus as their saviour that day. May the Holy Spirit keep working with that seed that was planted in their lives. Saturday evening we had again youth group and this time we had even more youth coming than last time. It really looks like that the elections affected our ministry. Sunday we had again church service, I was asked to lead the service. Again it was something I never did before and something that I could learn something.

The 9 kids that accepted Jesus into their lives

 How the feedback is on how I did, I don't know yet, but I think it went well for the first time. This Sunday was the last Sunday that we dedicated towards the missionaries of the denomination. We were collecting money for all the missionaries. My supervisor, Pastor Simon preached two weeks ago on the parable of the talents. How the master gave talents to his servants and how the first and the second servent multiplied the talents that the third didn't do anything with it. After preaching this message he challenged those who wanted to accept some money from him and multipli it in what every way and then to bring everything back again. The money would them be collected and be given to the denomination who would give the money to their missionaries. The goal that our church had was 220 Reais. Just on this last Sunday we collected through this challenge around 170 Reais. This people really understood what the message was all about. On day after this last Sunday a lady came and gave me 15 Reais telling me that this was what she won out of the money Pastor Simon gave her, and she also told me that she would keep another 10 Reais to use that to multipli it again. It is very nice to see how this people understand and are trustworthy with what we ask of them.

Well I think that's all what happened last week. Pastor Simon and his family are back from their holidays and so the normal life turned back too.
