Jeff, Jake, Hannah and I had a wonderful day yesterday with Juliana of Atuacao Voluntaria in a community here in Rio. We gave ourselves a team name, "The Droneys"! We combined "Droogsma" and "Loney"!
In two different classes, we performed a skit about sin and bad choices in life. We followed up with Proverbs 13:20, "Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm."
Jake gave his powerful testimony of when he came to follow Christ. One little 8-year-old girl asked if that was really true :)
We taught a little English and talked about how creative God is! He created many different countries and different people! But, as Christ followers, we are all equal and we all worship the same God. And He is the ONLY God and the ONLY way to salvation!
The children were mesmerized by Jake and could not believe he didn't speak Portuguese! They asked him if children in the United States knew how to speak English when they were born :) They asked if Hannah and Jake lived together. It gave them an awesome opportunity to share that they are waiting until marriage because the bible teaches about remaining pure until marriage.
A wonderful day, as we ministered together!
We have a young couple, Lizzie and Derek, that arrived here this morning. It will be part honeymoon and part mission trip! We're hoping that they can join us and return to this community next week!
Having a blast serving our Great and Mighty King together,
Diane, Jeff, Jake and Hannah
