2010 Mission Trip Overview

Our group will join some other volunteers in Brazil to work with CMU ministry and build a church. This will be our fifth year to go on a trip with CMU. We will be going to Fortaleza Brazil on September 17th and return on the 25th.

When we arrive, there is usually a concrete foundation and supports for a roof. During the week, we will brick all of the walls and put on a roof. In our spare time, we will go out into the community and invite families to attend the church dedication on our last night. This is also a time we can minister, pray, and fellowship with the Brazilians.

In past years, the dedication service has always been such an awesome time. The church is usually overflowing with many standing outside. During that time, the Word of God will be preached and some will make decisions that have eternal consequences. It has been such a privilege to be a part of what God is doing in Brazil and to help CMU with their mission.....

"to build churches to the glory of God where the gospel will be preached, lives will be changed, and people will be saved until Jesus comes."

3rd Day Building


We completed our third day of building. The roof is complete and we lack about three sections in the top. Here is a pic of the inside; as you can see, the brazilians are all hanging out with us! You just gotta work around them!
















We should be done tomorrow morning and we will focus on outreach more and also inviting everyone to tomorrow's Dedication Service at 6pm. Israel, the translator, and an American pastor, Jack, went with me (Samantha) to meet and witness to some of the villagers. It was a great time! We did notice a very strong catholic influence....many of the people claimed that they would be saved by doing good things. Please pray we have a great turn out!
