Day of Training


Today was a special and different day.
In the morning a group 20 men who are supporting leaders of two churches (São Lourenço and Curado) met for an early traditional breakfast in a city 1 hour away. During the meal and in the midst of a lot of fellowship, we had two short lessons about doing church: the necessary sacrifices to make ministry grow and the spiritual motivation we must pursue in order to keep going. It was a wonderful moment of unity and learning.


This afternoon another group of men from São Lourenço met to watch a video on qualities of efficient leadership. Again, it was the same formula: fellowship, laughers, and learning. 


We believe it's the time we need to prepare solidly the men who will keep our churches growing and expanding---men from our own congregations!    Check out some pictures:

Please, in your prayers tonight add this vision of leadership preparation.  .


Pray also for the cities I mentioned in my last blog, which were devastated by the "monsoon type" floods. Now many of those cities are under the risk of epidemic diseases. 


Shalom
