In Manaus we gave an introduction to Discovery Groups, and to Immanuel Prayer. Many in this group feel wounded from other church groups. Thinking in terms of Pilgrim’s Progress, is this along the journey for all of us? Is this your story, by any chance? I remember hearing that the Vineyard started in Los Angeles with wounded Christians, people who have been hurt by other Christians or church people. Is this a normal way for great movements to start? When these early Vineyard people started moving in the gifts of the Spirit, I remember John Wimber calling them wounded healers.
They live in the heart of the Amazon Basin. Do they look like world changers? Do you see any potential for reaching out to the huge jungle that surrounds Manaus?
Nina danced in front of the church with her Mom during worship time, and she bursting with excitement.
After church we went out for a snack with Meury, Edilson, and their son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter.
Before church we went out to make visits. Manaus has about 2 million people.
