From Taylor

I just want to let everyone know that this trip has been truly amazing! God has truly blessed this trip! I can see him at work in many situations. The chemistry between everyone, including those from texas and florida, is phenomenal! God is most definitely at work in our hearts and in Tefe', Brazil. Today was such an encouragement to me and to others. As I have shared my faith in Jesus throughout the week, God has also showed me as well as others the importance of discipleship. Even though we are sharing Christ with the people of Tefe now, if no one in the community continues the Lord's work when we leave, then the church will not grow. Today was an incredible opportunity for my group. I was able to share with two girls around the age of 16 in the morning. They really understood their need for Christ and they gave their life to Him! It was great! Soon after, we left to go to lunch. Later on in the day when we went back, we saw those two girls again. They wanted to work with us and learn how to share their new faith! So they worked with us and watched us share Christ with their friends. Near the end of our time there, they asked for a cube that we use to share Christ with. So we acted as the lost person and they shared their faith. It was truly amazing! They did not know all that we knew about the Bible. But they knew the need for Christ in their life and the needs of others. So we gave them the cube and right then they went to share their faith. The Lord showed me today the importance of teaching others so that they too may do the Lord's work when we are gone. Also, Billy's group had a similar opportunity to disciple a couple of kids. This was so encouraging. I just felt led to share this with everyone back home. Thank you so much for your prayers. Please continue to pray that God will lead us and use us in a mighty way! Taylor
