Youth Retreat

This past Easter weekend, Mario and I participated of our church´s youth retreat. Mario was invited to speak to the youth about missions!
Belive it or not, It was the first time that this subject was ever addressed at a youth retreat at this church! We stayed at a beautiful farm from Friday to Sunday. Our room was the one you see below in the balcony of the building.
There were times of worship before every word...
Mario was greatly used by the Lord to challenge the young people about missions.
...and many responded in tears to the call!We also had great food......times of sharing...... and lots of games...
For the guys, soccer is a daily event here in Brazil, and it wasn´t different at this retreat!
I enjoyed the nature all around and took several walks during those days...
Mario shared about missions 5 times that weekend...
 I also shared a bit of my testimony.
God gave us some wonderful new friendships during that weekend. This is Pr. Guilherme and his wife Alexandra, they are the ones that invited Mario to be the speaker at this event. Since they assumed the youth of our church about a year ago, they have been working hard to teach the youth about missions
...and now the fruit are beginning to appear!
We praise God for the wonderful, fruitful weekend He gave us!
