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."

Church Dedication

We had the church dedication tonight at 6pm. The inside filled quickly with many people from the community. The pastor from the mother church brought some of his congregation also.









The pastor had all the children come to the front. There were so many. We are not for sure what was said, but we think it was like a little "childrens church."






Samantha was given the opportunity to share her testimony. It was her first time to share with such a large group! She read 2 Cor 5:17 where it talks about believers being a new creation.





Our mission team was surprised by the unveiling of a plaque on the church wall. It had all of our names listed on it. This was the first time in my five years of going to Brazil that I had seen this done.
