Sunday Update

Hi Everybody!
I'm sorry it took me a few days to post another blog, but here goes the latest...
On Friday we arrived in Joinville, and went downtown to evangelize and pass out "invites" to the weekend services. We set up for our dramas, and when we powered up the sound system, our transformer didn't work and we blew our sound system! That's right, our brand new portable sound system blew up! So... we had to minister without music... That evening, the church had a special "coffee night" and we got to meet a bunch of the youth and church family. Many of the folks we met down town came out that evening. It was fantastic! We came home very late.
On Saturday, I woke up early and went shopping for wires/cables and sound parts. We were able to put a little sound system together and later that day the team ministered down town. Many people were touched by the dramas and gave their hearts to the Lord. Many of them came back that evening to the youth service. Our team ministered at the youth service with many dramas and Sean preached a great word. Several other youth gave their lives to the Lord and we also prayed for all the youth. This was another great night - Praise the Lord!!!
Today, we got up early, and went to the "English Speaking Service". We had our team lead worship (Leif, Caitlyn, Ricci Ann and Christine), and then we had several our team members exhort, including: Hannah, Jacob, Emmy, Afton, Alex and Shanna. They didn't an outstanding job! Seriously! It was awesome and they set the table nicely for Cassie to come and preach. She did a great job and brought a very timely and uplifting word for the church. You guys would all be very impressed! <>
After having a nice lunch, we came back to my sister's house and the team rested and some of us watched Brazil beat Argentina for the final of the "Copa America" (soccer championship game). Some of the team members got to go to the mall with some of the local youth and leaders. They had fun.
This evening we came back to church and had a powerful move of God! After worship, we had a short "membership type" graduation, and as we prayed over the graduates the spirit of prophecy came down. While Danny, Hannah and Aimee ministered in Kids church, we began to minister to the rest of the church. Cassie, Leif, Jennie, Sean and I ministered in the prophetic over many, many, many people and didn't finish until almost midnight! Pr. Skip and Debbie said we were right on the mark! God graced us in a mighty way, and I believe the people there were really blessed. It was incredible!!! Praise God for His faithfulness! No wonder the enemy was trying to slow us down...
Finally, we all went out for some Brazilian burgers, and now (2am) the team is getting ready for bed. Thanks again for all your prayers. We really need them! Tomorrow, we will be ministering at a couple of schools (morning and afternoon), so please keep the prayers coming! I don't know what we're gonna do for a sound system for the next few legs of our trip, but God will provide.
We are all doing well and I'm so proud of our team. Everyone is healthy and we've had no major issues at all - praise God! We'll connect again later... Blessings. Tchau Tchau!!!
