Clenildo sent me this photo of a group of locals from Porto de Moz heading out to visit villages hours away. They want to help people. They want to spread the Good News of God’s Kingdom. Clenildo motivated several local missionary teams in Porto de Moz to reach the surrounding villages.
These people were all just children, or maybe not even born, when Clenildo and Angelita moved to Porto de Moz as missionaries in 1994. In 1995 Clenildo and Angelita moved 10 hours upstream to Altamira to work with Deanna and me. However, they are still important and well-respected in many circles in the Lower Xingu Region.
Our goal/dream is to help people connect to God in such a way that they naturally want to tell everyone they meet.
Spontaneous, Sustainable, Church-planting.
Someone might think, “They probably have nothing else to do.” While these outings are fun, they are also expensive and time-consuming. These people choose this way to spend their time rather than fixing up their houses, working, or resting. On the one hand, I am amazed. These people are my heroes. On the other hand, I wish this was so common it was happening everywhere in the Amazon Basin.
Valdinho sent me this photo of a Discovery Group in Porto de Moz. Valdinho is at the far right, back row. He is one of the first people I met in Porto de Moz in 1995.
