Art’s Story

Good morning friends and family,
The ladies had a fantastic weekend of teaching and  receiving prayer. I heard from Cyndi just how many of the ladies and teens were met by God in very real, deep and practical ways. All received some type of healing in their lives and some type of burden was lifted from them. They freedom and lightness that I witnessed Sunday night at our service was so apparent. The ladies were ‘glowing’ and laughing and so full of joy. It was so evident and so attractive. Many of the family members came to the service just to hear the testimonies. People came early and people stayed late. 
Before the service, the men decorated the church. We were told that one of the things the ladies were hearing all weekend was that God sees them as princeses. So the men did the best job they could at making the place look beautiful.
The ladies all dressed up and looked fantastic.
As the ladies walked up the hill, from the mission property and entered into the church property, they were met with whistling, clapping and many, many …very loud fireworks. It was quite a sight.
When we finally entered the service and started our worship time, all the ladies rushed the front of the church , like they were at a rock concert, and started to sing, dance, laugh and enjoy each other as they worship.  
As we all watched, it was hard not to think….” I’d like what they have”. 
Many family members and husbands came to church that do not normally come. It was evident that they were impacted by what they saw.
Almost all of the ladies gave testimonies to what God did in them that weekend. They spoke of freedom, being loved, valued, being God’s princess , being whole again, having a fresh start, having a new and real family, being light…What a great weekend had by all.
Thank you for your prayers and loving support. We sure do need it.
The Men’s Encontro is this weekend. If you could remember us again this weekend, we would greatly appreciate it.
Have a great day and a great week!
Abraços
Artur
