Weekend in Aiuaba

This weekend Itacyara, Mikey and I went to the small city of Aiuaba with Tiago, one of our seminary students. Tiago works there together with Moises, the Brazilian who is planting the church. Below are some pictures of the trip.

In this picture, Tiago leads the singing for a Saturday night open-air evangelism outreach in Arneroz, a small outlying village. There is no work in Arneroz...yet.

I must confess, I had a great time driving over the rugged terrain as we visited outlying settlements. This skull on a fencepost seemed to be a Kodak moment.

The pickup got a workout over the weekend. Besides the intense driving, it also served as transportation...

...as well as a portable stand for the sound system.

This is Tiago with his Sunday School class. We are very proud of him and the work he is doing there.

After the morning service, the church-folk gathered for a pork roast.

YUMMY!

I had the privilege of speaking on Sunday evening, and God blessed the service with two believers who had fallen away being reconciled to the church. I also accomanied Moises and Tiago on visitation on Sunday afternoon. We had a great conversation with a new convert, and were able to share the Gospel with a lady who is experiencing some physical difficulties. Weekends like this leave us physically exhausted, but spiritually uplifted.
