Atibaia, September 2010.
Many times in our lives, we experience anxiety for not seeing God's answers to the questions we have submitted to him and struggled in prayer. No wonder that in some Psalms, we see the psalmists crying Lord make haste! This is because all of us, especially in times of adversity, we believe that God is slow to attend us.
Dear Brothers, the apostle Paul said that our work is not vain in the Lord (I Cor 15:58). All you have done for the kingdom of God is recorded in heaven and in the Lord's time, not ours, the victory will come!
I count with your prayers, and more than ever, with your generosity, because as you know we are with the Youth Missions International (YMI) Brazil organizing evangelistic projects in the areas of Sports, Music, Arts and English.
Earlier in the month of August (03-08):
We accepted the invitation of the Help Ministry in Manaus to do the Awana Games. Participated 06 churches (Hebron Japiim, Mount of Olives, Shekinah, D. Peter and December 14). This year the trophy "Fruit of the Spirit" was to the Churches: Japiim and December 14.
Also in Manaus, we challenge the Baptist Church December 14 to implement the Sports Ministry (YMI Brazil & Elite da Bola) and we did the same to the Independent Baptist Church at Pq. D. Pedro, pray for them...
On days 09 to 11:
We did a Futsal Clinic and Baseball Clinic at Bom Jesus Baptist Church, SP, along with the YMI USA... And now every Thursday we will be helping the Church and Pastor Arvaldo in the deployment of the sports ministry (Futsal) with the curriculum Elite da Bola …pray for us...
This month, Rose started one more time the Arts Ministry at PIBA with 250 women, many of them are not Christians ... pray for the evangelism of all... Julia is also teaches scrapbook class and Abner teaches Futsal at PIBAI every Thursday.
Julia is working at the International School in Atibaia and Abner is teaching Physical Education at City Hall and he is also an assistant coach at the Football School 7.
On days 12 to 15: The Barreto Baptist Church, Pastor Oliver Goiano received us (Me, Rose, Julia, Paulo, Milena and the 8 North American of YMI USA), we visited schools, the congregation of the Church, spoke to the church and we began our partnership and implementation of YMI Brazil, pray for Niteroi and RJ.
I want to challenge each one of you for the big events that are coming soon (World Cup 2014 and Olympics 2016 in Brazil), for all the preparation, actions, and after these events, to continue and not stop... For this we are offering a futsal curriculum and training for leaders and trainers in churches that want to have an organized sports ministry and not just a hobby...
In our blog: www.cerpeymibrasil.blogspot.com we have more details and informations. Now, there is not no more excuses for not starting.
Let's play and pass the ball of this Ministry to others and continue to score goals for Jesus Christ....
