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."

4th Day of Building

The weather has been great the entire trip. There has always been a breeze to keep the heat tolerable. Today was our last build day. While a few were putting in the last sections, a group of us was able to go to two schools. There were had two of our team members do some magic tricks and some strength feats. They do this while sharing the gospel.

We set the final brick right around noon.









Before the kids headed out to school for their afternoon classes, we had some giveaways which our life group members provided. They were very thankful for everything we brought.













Tonight is the church dedication at 6pm (4 pm CST). Please pray for this time. We pray that many will attend and they would respond to the gospel. We will be leaving this city tonight after the service. Pray for safe travel.
