A Personal testimony of the Beach Project

I am from Belo Horizonte, MG. In 1997 my mom came to Christ and start praying for me that God will send people to share the Gospel with me and my brothers. One year later God sent Kent Baily (CO missionary) to Brazil and through him I got a chance to understand and grow in Gospel. My life was drastically changed by the grace of Christ and when a finished my Engineering course I joined the missionaries and the campus of UFMG to share this great love that rescued me from my own emptiness.

This project was my second as a director. I was more calm and trusting more this time. Lead is a hard task, especially if you try to do it yourself (and I tend to do this way), instead of trusting God and letting your team work with you. This year our team was a young team and we were excited but at the same time, we had some trust issues to work out. God really used the project to treat our characters and to join us as one Team. First, because He likes to works in unity, love and trust; and second because there is no way to show God as a body if we are not one. This lesson is very clear to me now and God has taught us that with our team in this Beach project.

Leading this year was more enjoyable. I think God is giving me more maturity to lead and enjoy leading instead of being stressed.
