God is at work in Brazil
When I first came to know the Lord and His love and forgiveness, it was an exciting time. I knew
nothing of church politics, church growth, Christian apathy, or fear of sharing the Gospel with those around me. Being part
of the CPE team to visit friends and relatives of the Vila Emma Church in Sao Paulo, Brazil was a similar exciting experience.
All that would stand in the way of sharing the Gospel was moved aside. God showed us that in this 21st century, regardless of
the current literature that seeks to make Christianity more user friendly, God is still reconciling people to Himself through His
Son.
Through years spent in Evangelism Explosion
111 under Pastor Dan McIver, I learned to share a clear Gospel presentation. During this training under CPE, we learned to use
questions to find out what God is doing or has done in people's lives as part of sharing the Gospel. How could I have ever thought
that God Almighty was not active in the lives of His unsaved people? I had been acting like the Gospel depended only on us Christians.
Each person had a unique story of God revealing himself to them. I do not have the words to describe my time in Brazil. Thank
you all for this amazing opportunity to go.
What would happen here in Canada if my church made lists of all our lost friends and relatives; the whole church prayed for them;
and then we formed teams with another church and made appointments to visit and share the Gospel? I know what happened in Brazil.
One hundred and thirty-three people prayed to receive the Lord and made appointments to begin follow up Bible Studies.
