Hello! We've had a wonderful time here in Ersmesinde, near Porto, Portugal. We've been working with a church who are very missions-minded and really want to reach out to their area. We've been helping out practically ( as it's a new building there are a lot of little jobs to do), speaking at church meetings, painting children's faces in the park and getting to know lots of amazing people! We've been really blessed through the people in the church and all of their stories. There are missionaries from Switzerland, the USA, England and Brasil among the people who we've met and God's doing a lot here.
A point for praise: last night the boys spoke at a meeting in a drug rehabilitation centre with the pastor, Samuel, and seven men gave their lives to Christ! On our last night of ministry God was still working!
We are now debriefing along with the other Transit Team, John and James from Lifehope and Neil Mason (the field leader of OM Portugal). Chris, Mike and Sarah will be heading home on Sunday morning and Marvin, Chorong, Elya and Hannah will be travelling with the van back to Lifehope and going to their different destinations from there.
Keep on praying as we go home and try to readjust to "normal" life, all except Marvin and Chorong who will stay on with OM. Thank you again for all of your prayers!
God bless!
