Sharing the Love of Christ in Brazil

After the first week of training, I was much more confident. We split up into teams of about 10 people on each time, and went into different Churches. I went to a small church in Curitiba with my team. There we're two preachers on the team and I preached the first two nights. The first night I preached was July 9, my birthday. I turned twenty-one. It was very exciting and somehow all the nerves left me. I loved the people of my Church and became really close with the Pastor and my translator. I had the opportunity to pray and bless the senior pastor's granddaughter Julianna. This was such an amazing experience that no amount of words can ever express. I had a woman in her early twenties say how much God had touched her life through the message I preached. Almost everyone in the Church came forward for Prayer and we watched as God touched each of their lives. Some heard the gospel for the very first time and some connected with Americans for the very first time. It was amazing to see their hunger and excitement for God and what he was doing in their town.
