Week 28

Visiting friends and the Book of Isaiah

Last week I had the opportunity to visit the Oliveira family in Belo Horizonte, Southeast of Brazil. Garibaldi Oliveira was one my best classmates while at ACU. We both discussed all sort of new ideas and perspectives. We debated about the way we've been doing churches in Brazil.                                                               We reverently

reflected about our God. Well, this week we met and for hours we did the same thing! His family 

among others was God's providence in supporting us while studying in US. During the same visit I had the chance to teach the book of Isaiah at a local training school for the Churches of Christ. Isaiah is such a rich book that it becomes hard to teach. Isaiah's artistic writing style and powerful message makes its teaching on the other hand a great pleasure.

(Tonight as the whole family was coming from a movie theater a young playboy threw his speeding car against us, hit us, and then ran. Thank the good Lord, I was able to regain control of the vehicle! There was only a sli

ght dent on the side.)

Ah, we're on vacation during the month of July.
