August-September 2011 News
FROM NITEROI TO NATAL
During the month of September we stopped at home for exactly 5 days. And not 5 in a row! We went from Niteroi to Brasília, to Palmas, to Aguas de São Pedro and then to Natal. In Niteroi and Natal we conducted Team Building retreats. These retreats begin with a questionnaire sent in by each team member before we even arrive. Upon arrival, we meet with each couple individually to talk about their personal, marital and ministry needs. The rest of the workshop is based on where the team is and what they are needing at the moment. This was our second retreat with the Niteroi Team and our first with the current Natal Team (we were there in 2003 with a different team). Our goal is always to help team members maintain their focus and sustain their mission by taking care of their personal spiritual needs, marriage strengthening, improving team functioning and helping them cast a vision and goals for the next year. It is a joy for us to work with these dedicated families who work so hard to spread the word of the Lord here in Brazil. Please keep them in your prayers.

AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN
Elder Link Brasília
In 2011, 4 regional Pastoreai (Elderlink) events have or will occur in Belo Horizonte, Curitiba, Brasília and Recife, Brazil. We participated in the Brasilia version where Jerry taught several classes along with Bryan Gibbs and Tim Maynard and Chris Worsham from Park Plaza in Tulsa (they support one of the evangelists in Brasília)
It was a wonderful time of vision casting about developing Godly leaders for the church and the women who will lead at their side.
Palmas
We traveled to Palmas, TO, where the next Continent of Great Cities team will be sent in 2012. With us were current members of the new team: Kátia Costa, Flávio and Fernanda França and Paulo and Renata Figueiredo. Also, Dale Brown from Golf Course Road, and Tim Maynard and Chris Worsham from Park Plaza came to consider investing in the mission. We met Arlindo and Susanna who currently work with a school of the Bible and a small church meeting in the city. We are considering two more couples to join this team before they go to the field. Please keep this project in your prayers.
Couples Reteat in Itu
We spent a wonderful weekend with 48 couples at a retreat center in Aguas de Sâo Pedro for the annual marriage retreat hosted by the Itu church. We lead one of the discussion groups based on classes by F.H. Gates on the book Love and Respect. Five of the couples who attended are not associated with any church and we pray that they saw Jesus among us. It was a wonderful time of worship and renewal of our marriages highlighted by a special time of forgiveness between partners.
