Visit to Castanhal

Yesterday we went to the town of Castanhal where we got to hear the story of Pastors Aldenor, Luis Fernando, and Fernando. About six years ago they showed the JESUS Film in a neighborhood. Of the 100 people present, 68 indicated that they wanted to become followers of JESUS. God has built a church around these precious folks. Here is a photo of some of them in front of the new church that is under construction, but already in use:

Later we went to a new neighborhood to work with another local church that was showing the JESUS Film in a neighborhood for the first time. There were 142 people who came out for the film. At the end 86 children and 16 adults prayed and received Christ.

I got to talk with one 36 year old man who raised his hand when they asked who had prayed to received Christ. We had shared popcorn during the movie. I don't think I have ever seen a more serious, thoughtful decision to follow Jesus. I gave him an illustrated version (like a comic book) of the New Testament. (that's him in front)
