Saturday Update

We heard from the group again, after a few days of quiet. They've been doing similar things for the past few days: working on church buildings alongside PAZ missionaries and Brazilians and having some church services.

Yesterday they had a church service where worship involved some samba line dancing, which was (I'm sure) enjoyed by all and very encouraging to the group. Tim O. preached and some of the students told their testimonies.

Today is a day of rest for the students. They've been in Brazil for just over a week now and this will be the first real day of rest they have. Let's be praying for them today as they recoup from their week of hard work. There is another service today and Ken Trezise will preach.

Tomorrow, Tim T will preach at the Easter Sunday service and then the group will head out on the house boats for a few days.

Monday and Tuesday, the group will be traveling up river to deliver water filters to communities with no clean water.

All in all, the group is doing well, but they're becoming more and more aware of the spiritual warfare around them. This is the most important thing we need to be praying for this weekend.

Please Pray:
That today's day of rest would be encouraging to the group.
For the men preaching at these services and for the LIFTers as they share their testimonies
For the communities that the group will be visiting with these water filters; that the gospel will be clear to them
Pray against the work that Satan is doing in Brazil and in the group and for strength and encouragement for the all the believers down there.

Thanks for reading and happy Easter!
