Goal of Brazil Trip:

1. See what God is doing in His church in Brazil (Sao Paulo,

Rio de Janeiro, Vitoria)

2. Seek to be a blessing to the church in Brazil

3. Bring back valuable insights from the church in Brazil

Key Takeaways:
1. The home churches are growing. They focus on deep
relationships with neighbors and co-workers (oikos)
2. The church has a commitment and desire to be together
many times per week. They share their lives together.
3. The church always starts with worship and it is very
strong, lively and full of participation!!
4. The church in Brazil seems to be older and robust. Strong
focus on discipleship with many elders and elders seem to
collaborate a lot.
My contribution:
1. I was able to kickstart many people through my need for
translation
2. Many people expressed how simple it was to share the
gospel
3. God brought conviction that we can and should pray about
everything, no matter how small
