Many people ask us how we "recharge our batteries" here in Rio de Janeiro after a busy time of ministry. Living life in a foreign land can be stressful at times....visa problems, dense population (14 million), horrific traffic, water and sewer problems, etc. So what do we do when we need a rest, a change of scenery or just....CRAVE Disney World?!!! We go to Penedo! A little village in the mountains known for their Finnish chocolate!
We were blessed recently to travel to Penedo with Pastor Cesao (Big Cesar), his wife Anna, Pastor Craig and his wife, Alessandra, and our good friends, Alisson and Desideria for a retreat and some rest! We spent time in the Word together, prayed together and had some fun together! We visited an awesome waterfall named "Cachoeira de Deus" (Waterfall of God)---a peaceful and beautiful place to visit in the mountains of Penedo!
Today in my quiet time in Matthew 14:23, I was reminded of the time we spent in the mountains in Brazil, resting in Him!!!
Blessings,
Di (for the fam)
Matthew 14:23 After He had sent the crowds away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray; and when it was evening, He was there alone.
