1 Corinthians 15:33 Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.”

Jeff and I have been enjoying the presence of an awesome group of men from a church in the USA,as well as a brother-in-Christ from England.  Our team has been completed by a Brazilian brother, from our Small Group, who has jumped in to serve with us! 

John, serving every moment!

Already I feel blessed by their godly examples!  We have studied the Word of God together, served one another, acted in a skit together and gotten to know one another better.  While we've already had some God encounters together, I feel that He is preparing us for the upcoming days to work together for His kingdom purposes!

We began our day today studying the book of Jonah, followed by time in prayer, the preparation of a skit and practice using an Evange-Cube.  We spent the afternoon walking the streets of a local community with a local pastor, sharing Christ with the people God put in our paths.  The theme of our skit was "Making Good Choices" and we acted out some good and bad choices in life and how important it is to make godly choices.  We followed it up with 1 Corinthians 15:33, "Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.”

We shared the gospel message through various "tools" from our toolbox, i.e., a skit, testimonies, Evange-cube and pictures and stories of these American men's families and how God has worked in their lives.

One of the women that we shared the gospel with this afternoon is a local shop owner who I have met and talked to several times while out and about in this community.  After we shared God's plan of salvation with her and that she could have the assurance of eternal life with Christ she excitedly told us how two days ago a young man had shared with her she could have this assurance.  She was amazed that we had this strong faith to know where we would spend eternity.  Although she has not yet made this decision to follow Christ, there is a definite interest and I look forward to returning to share more with her in the future!  Please pray that Paula soon decides to become a Christ follower and have this assurance of eternal life with Him!


Tonight the men have returned to this local church to share more testimonies during a men's group.  We will return to reach out to the homeless people in this community on Saturday by washing wounds, bringing food and most importantly, bringing the gospel message.  Pray for fruit....fruit that remains!


Walking where Jesus would walk,
