Couples Small Group

Here's a picture of our new small group for couples on Saturday nights in the Rincao neighborhood.

Interns

Left to Right (Andre, Sidineia, Lizi, and Lucas) These guys have been a tremendous help to us these past few months. Lucas and Lizi left back for seminary at the beginning of February, but Andre and Sidi will stay on with us for the remainder of the year.

Youth Camp

Lucas and LIzi organized a great youth camp in the mountains just north of Gravatai. The kids had so much fun growing closer to God and each other.

Worship Practice

The worship band from our church all went to the retreat. Here they are getting ready for the nightime service.

Baptisms

Two girls from the youth group got baptized in the River Sinos.

Andre

Andre, a local seminary student, is on loan to us from one of our partner churches. He's a true blessing...helping in a variety of areas.
