Prayers for Brazil


Thank you for your continued prayers for the ministry in Brazil! We are so excited about all that God is continuing to do there! We recently hosted Alan and Juniha, two of our Brazilian staff, who were visiting here in the U.S. Alan leads the campus ministry on one of our campuses in Brazil. We are so encouraged by their leadership, passion, and vision for what God is doing there!

The last week of January was the annual conference called Projeto de FĂ©rias (PDF) in Belo Horizonte, Brazil.  The theme this year was "Uma Vida" or "One Life" and emphasized the importance of making this one life count.  This year they used content from the National Campus Outreach Conference, which included talks from J.D. Greear, Matt Chandler, Tripp Lee, and John Piper.  They devoted time after each talk to group discussions, bible study, and personal reflection. It was a fun and challenging time for those who attended, especially for those who were non-christians and young believers. This time was significant for many students as they left with a deeper desire to investigate and know Christ.  

Pray that God will pierce men's hearts and shed the light of the gospel into their worlds that they might know Him and enjoy Him forever!
