A Rare Treat

Yesterday was another day of ministry for our family. We were actually able to spend some time with the folks at our home church, and then it was off to Fort Myers for a meeting at Daniels Road Baptist Church.

After our meeting with the folks there, we were invited to sit in on a Brazilian service that was taking place in the old auditorium. What a blessing it was to hear songs and listen to messages in Portuguese. Pastor Artur even invited me to come up and say a few words to the congregation. I am afraid my Portuguese was not in top form, but the people were very gracious.

On our way home. we stopped at Denny's for a bite to eat, and to our surprise found members of the Brazilian congregation eating there as well. When Ita and I left, we were thrilled with having been able to fellowship with Brazilian believers, and had a heightened sense of longing to be in Brazil.
