Brazil: serving at the men's shelter

by Kenya Gutwein

It is our third night here in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil at the Barra Sol Posada. Today was another event-filled day. In the morning many went to the beach while others caught up on some long needed rest. For lunch, we went to a beautiful buffet and enjoyed some delicious Brazilian food.

Later in the afternoon we went to Sugar Loaf Mountain (Pão de Açúcar). It was beautiful to see God’s creation in another country!

On our way to dinner, Rob and Eric stopped for a quick tire change in the middle of a tunnel. Brazil.

After a delicious dinner provided for us by a church, we went to the men’s homeless shelter. It was a great night of music led by Sam, Kenya, and Brandt. Rob shared the gospel and Kim and Barry gave their testimonies. It was awesome to see how God worked within these men as we prayed for them and worshipped with them. It is encouraging to see how God is working through each and every one of us as we partner with Restore Brazil.

Please pray for us as we continue to encourage those around us and reach out in spreading the gospel to the people of Brazil!
