Jesus is still at work!!!




“The poor will eat and be satisfied; they who seek the LORD will praise him— may your hearts live forever!
All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD, and all the families of the nations will bow down before him”
Psalm 22.25-27


Jesus always fulfills His promises!!
I love you Jesus!
I am happy to serve and adore you for all your goodness!
You are the reason of my life and I will serve you forever!

Thank you Jesus to let me take part of the actions of your mercy!

Brief up date on life

Right now I am working hard on the preparation of the beach project. We hope that God will use this project to call many students to Him in intimacy. God is challenging me so much to trust Him in all that I am living. I am helping many men to grow in Christ and to see their change is incredible but to see their sin can be crushing. God is making me face the fact that I can’t change anyone and that I don’t control anyone’s process to know Him. He is using this so much to mold my own character and identity. That is such a privilege (a paradox too) because through this situation I am knowing Jesus in a deeper way; trusting Him more and more to change my life and to use me not because I am capable but because I am being transformed by grace. This is also happening in my relationship with my girlfriend, Cristina, and my teammates. It is necessary that Christ becomes greater and I must become less.

Pray that God will humble me and make me serve as He served the Church, make me passionate for the lost as He was passionate for them and make me loving toward all like His loved toward all.

"You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you.
Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD, the LORD, is the Rock eternal."

Thailand in Brazil? What is happening?

Brain Firpo (in the right) and his wife, missionaries in Thailand for fifteen years, visited us here in Brazil this month. Flavio, I and Brain (see the picture) went out to talk about our experiences sharing the Gospel to Brazilians and to Tai people. It was visionary to see his devotion to Christ and how he is commited to make Jesus know. He share with me the verse from Isaiah 9

“The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned.”

We talked about the real light that must shine in Thailand and Brazil so that we would walk in the light! Pray for us, Brazilians and Thai's.
