We saw fruit

Today was an incrediable day. We heard from the team last night in the interior. They are doing well. Today they were going to be flying kites with the school children after school and then tonight they were going to going door to door and sharing at church. Tomorrow and Friday they will be in the school sharing with children and then starting the home church tomorrow night. They said that the trip was very hard but that God had been with them the whole way and that they felt He had pulled them throught the mud at times because others were stuck and they were cruising right on through. I believe that Bruce put it that they enjoyed the challenge and gave God the succuss. The church is full of young people, much like Emmanuel and they are looking forward to serving there this week. This area has been a prayer for Aaron almost since he got here, so thankfully we are able to help him. Please pray for the bites that they got while driving out and for the itching that is going on.

Today in Rio Branco I woke up feeling like we needed to not go to the Wizard school and go some where else because I didn't feel like we were making a difference. Tiffany and I talked to Justin, Emily and Ben about it and they wanted to go back and say bye. So we spent the morning praying and reading our quite time by Dr. Mark Seagle and when we were finished they all came back to me and said "Go" (sound familiar Mark?) So we went and they shared in one room and 6 students became believers and also the teacher. In another room there was 3 and then I shared with a teacher that said no one had ever told her about Jesus. She prayed also to recieve Christ. When she finished praying she had tears rolling down her checks and said she felt like a new person. It was a great day at the school. We then went to do door to door evangelism with Pastor Rogerio in his church neighborhood. There we prayed with 6 to recieve Christ and 1 rededicated her life. Justin, Emily and Ben were so excited. Tonight we worshiped with Pastor Rogerio in his church and even though we did not understand a word we felt the presence of the Lord.

Tomorrow our students are going to be doing some work (world changers type stuff) around Aaron and Tiffany's house and of course watching the USA soccer and the Brazil soccer game. Like everyone else in Rio Brance. The schools and businesses are closed for the game (Brazil game) It is amazing at the Brazilian pride shown here for their country during the World Cup. What is so amazing is that most Americans don't even know the World Cup is on. They (our students )also plan to hang out with the boys next door and they are praying that the Lord will give them an opportunity to share with them. They both speak some English but Tiffany will translate for them. On Friday we will be going back to the neighborhood of Pastor Rogerio's church. Pray for boldness and that God will use us in powerful way there.

Thank you for your comments and for praying and lifting the team up. Please don't stop.
