Outreach Into the Favelas

We had the opportunity of performing some community outreach during the Carnival holiday. We went through the neighborhood around the church where we worked out of and we also went into a favela, (slum) that was near by. Most of the pictures outside were of the favela. Many people made decisions for Christ that weekend. There is a picture of me with and older man and his wife. He is the first person I have ever witnessed to in an evangelictic outreach. He didn't call on the Lord, but he knows what he has to do. The next day in the city we led a man to a saving relationship with Christ. One great thing is he knows someone from the church we were at.

We also got to work with some great young adults from a church in Sao Paulo. It was so much fun. Brought back memories of the old life in Kingsburg.
