Last night I had the opportunity to share God’s word with a small group of Brazilians that gather together once a week in Orange County for worship and Bible study. Since leaving Brazil a month ago my family and I have been learning to adjust to a new season of change. Being away from the people and country we love makes us appreciate Brazil even more. For this reason, I was so blessed to be among Brazilians again, singing and praying and studying the Bible together. For me, this is another example of God’s love and grace towards my family and me. He leads us, and provides for us. Also, it encourages me that He is allowing me to be connected with Brazilians, even 6,000+ miles away from my home in Curitiba. I praise God that He is causing my path to cross with Brazilians in Southern California, and opening doors for me to practice my Portuguese. He placed the Brazilian people on my heart, and His desire for more and more of them to become followers of Christ continues to burn inside me.

I’m filling-in for Pastor Brian Brodersen at Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa’s School of Ministry and School of Worship while he’s serving in the UK for a couple of weeks. Both classes meet on Tuesdays. The first at 9:00 a.m. (PST), the second at 11:00 a.m (PST). I’m thankful for the opportunity to teach, and look forward to seeing God display His grace once again. Please be praying for the students and me: April 17 & 24. God bless you all.

After 10 years in Brazil, God moved me back to America. I’m returning different than when I left. I’m coming back with a wife, two kids, Portuguese language, and 10 years of experience as a missionary and pastor in a Latin American country. Beyond this, I have a greater and deeper awareness of my need for God – the one who alone saves, justifies, sanctifies, and glorifies. Words cannot express how thankful I am for my years in Brazil. I first fell in love with the people. The Christians in Brazil taught me about expressing heart-felt love and joy in my relationship with others. I’ve had the privilege of sharing God’s word with them, and working with them in the advance of the Gospel. I’ve learned so much from them, and hope to transfer all of these lessons into my daily experience with Christ in the U.S. I am so honored to be embraced as one of their own.
