*****************************************************************************
Dear valued friends of Calvary Chapel Rio de Janeiro,
Well, it has been one month since the outreach group left and we have completely returned to our normal service to the Lord. We feel that we’re in a season of sowing, but we know that in due season we shall reap, if we do not lese heart. Galatians 6:9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.
It’s interesting that we never know through what means God is going to use us to reach people. Last month durring evangelism with the Newport Beach team we talked to a guy near the shopping mall. He was interested in what kind of music we were going to play and we had the opportunity to evangelize him. He is the kind of guy who believes that all ways lead to God and thinks that it’s really egoistical to believe that Jesus is the only way. Well, we invited him to the church and told him about the church events and he ended up telling his wife about the english classes at the church, who recently started coming. Here name is Angélica. We are able to share about the Lord through the english classes, and we believe that the Lord may reach her husband through her.
We started a home fellowship on Friday nights in Alessandra’s appartment (one of the girls from the church). She invited one of her friends named Iris multiple times. Iris is Catholic and is someone who would normally never want to set foot in a Christian church. Finally Iris came to the home fellowship and really liked it. Next she started coming to the
English classses in the church. Pray for Iris and Angélica, that they would wholly give their lives to the Lord.
God bless you richly!
Sincerely,
Calvary Chapel Rio de Janeiro
Praises:
· Praise God for bringing people to the english classes and the home fellowship!
· Praise God that in the right time we will reap the fruit of our labor.
