We have been journeying south to Brazil with Gospel for Brazil since 2004 (four missions total) to share the truth, grace, love and hope of Jesus Christ with the lost and hurting of Brazil, particularly the northeast desert region of the state of Ceara. Each and every trip we come back stronger christians with a greater knowledge of God’s Ways and changed as people. You can’t walk into the fire without a lot of old and unclean ways of this world being burned off to be left behind in a pile of ashes.
When we are in Brazil, we know we are walking in the center of God’s Will for us. We know we are there for a specific purpose, as a group and as an individual. We may not fully know all of God’s purpose for us being in the desert of Brazil but it’s not important we have it all figured out.
However, we often get asked, “Why do you go?” or “Is it worth it?” or “Couldn’t you just send the money you’re wasting by going to the ones in need?” And this is from fellow christians. Most of the time, I don’t even indulge the ignorance. You just won’t convince them of it’s true spiritual value.
So, as confirmation to us that go and to all christians, I would like to share a letter that our GFB pastor in Tiangua sent to Joe. I think it answers these questions perfectly.
