Teen Retreat

Here is a picture from our teen retreat the last weekend in October. We went to the National Forrest in São Francisco de Paula. Several of our teens were unable to make the trip this year for various reasons, but God still poured out his blessings on us. Praise Him!

Teen Devo

This is a picture of our teen devo in October. It was at the house of one of our dearest familes (the Salgado family- in English this translates into "Salty") who have just moved to a new house. They overcame many obstacles and made many sacrifices to get the house, but even still they consider it an answer to much prayer and give God the glory. They desire very much to host events in their home, including the teens.

Daniel's Baptism

Daniel and his family have been consistent participants in the church for 2 years. During this time, four of the six family members have given their lives to the Lord. Daniel was raised in a Christ-centered family, but until now was not ready for this decision. A few weeks ago he was touched when he read a Bible verse during our house church, "Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it" Prov. 22:6.

Raquel's Baptism

Raquel is Ana's youngest sibling. She has been in the youth group for three years and this year she has overcome several challenges at her school because of some classmates who have ridiculed her. But she has stood firm in her faith and decided to make Jesus the Lord of her life in September.

Our House Church

These are some of the people most dear to our hearts. We have been meeting in our home since March '07.
