Saturday, June 21

Sorry for the delay in updating. Yesterday, Friday,June 20th, was a busy day as the Evangelism Team began their journey back to America and the Medical Team arrived in Brazil. The Medical Team was late in arriving, about five hours. The Evangelism Team was really looking forward to greeting the arriving team but their planes literally passed each other on the tarmac in Cuiaba as one arrived and the other departed. The Medical Team then began a three hours bus ride to the city of Santa Elvira. Santa Elvira is a heavily catholic community with little evangelistic influence. The Medical Team sorted medicines this morning and began seeing patients around 1:00 pm eastern time. As I am typing, they are seeing patients and will see about 300 patients this afternoon before their first full day tomorrow. As of this morning, including the Evangelism Week, the Lord has allowed us to see 3720 people profess Christ as Lord and Savior. The teams have been incredible, with a heart for Brazil and more importantly a heart for Jesus Christ. Pray for the MedicalTeam especially the evangelism portion of the Clinic as the `soil´ here, in Santa Elvira, is much harder than we are used to in Brazil. Hope to be able to update again soon.
