From Brazil to America

This week Pastor Gomez & his wife from Campinas, Brazil are here in Texas & Arkansas preaching & visiting friends. I had the privilege to go to his church last October on a mission trip. With the help of several churches we were able to bring him to America for the 1st time in 8 years. He will be preaching for us this coming Sunday at Central & we expect it to be a great service.
Erin & I took he & his wife out to lunch on Monday in Texarkana & we hope to spend time w/ them again on Friday. Though he is a small guy he has a booming voice. God is using him greatly in Brazil & we're honored to have him with us this week. It's great to have a direct connection to a pastor in a foreign country & know him personally. We're excited about what God is doing in Brazil & hopefully next year we'll have the chance to go back & continue the ministry there. I'll blog more about Pastor Gomez & his testimony after the weekend.
