The Miracle of Multiplication!

Last Saturday evening we joined our brothers- and sisters-in-Christ in Caju in a celebration of the multiplication that has taken place in their body of believers.  The church began 7 years ago with 5 or so Christ followers and has multiplied into two churches and a missionary house, with over 500 Christ followers now!


How awesome it was to see this multitude leave their life groups at the same time and march through the streets to meet at the church building.  After a time of worship we left the church building proclaiming the name of Jesus as we walked through the streets!  (CLICK HERE) to see a short video of the worship)


We ended up at the soccer field and released helium-filled balloons with a message inside that said if the recipient called the church they would receive a free bible.  By the next afternoon, 5 people from various locations in Rio had already called to claim their prize!  The church planned to go and visit them and deliver their free bibles.


We celebrate with them the miracle of multiplication that God has blessed them with and stand in awe of His great hand at work!


Walking where Jesus would walk,
