Today’s the Lord’s Day and also Brazilian Father’s Day. In the morning we went to an apartment complex third floor open area in Nova Iguaçu as the local church gathered there for the special occasion instead of meeting at church. We provided free clinic and herbal massage service from 10am to 11:30am, and from around 1:30pm to 5pm. We were able to serve 30 people.

The Sunday service in Nova Iguaçu began at 11:30am. Pastor Ed delivered the sermon. Kiki (local church pastor’s wife) shared her testimony. The youth prepared gifts for the dads. Each gift was unique as it’s each dad’s portrait painting. A sumptuous Brazilian BBQ lunch was then served.

今天是主日,也是巴西的父親節。早上我們前往 Nova Iguaçu 一棟公寓三樓的開放空間,當地教會為了這個特別日子選擇在那裡聚會,而不是在教會內聚會。我們於上午 10 點至 11 點半,以及下午約 1 點半至 5 點,提供免費義診和精油按摩服務,總共服事了 30 位人士。

Nova Iguaçu 的主日崇拜在上午 11 點半開始,由 Pastor Ed 證道,當地教會 Kiki 師母分享了她的見證。青少年們為父親們準備了禮物,每份禮物都獨一無二,因為是為每位父親繪製的肖像畫。隨後享用了一頓豐盛的巴西烤肉午餐。

After lunch the free clinic and massage service resumed. There were other fun activities as well as it’s an outreach and in-reach event.

午餐後,免費義診和按摩服務繼續進行,現場還有其他有趣的活動,因為這既是一個外展也是內聚的活動。

The STM team split to two after lunch. The Niterói team headed back to Niterói for the 4pm Sunday service. Pastor Rose delivered the heartfelt Father’s Day sermon. The church prepared gifts for the dads. After cake and snacks, the Niterói team began their first night’s discipleship training.

下午午餐後,短宣隊分為兩隊。Niterói 團隊返回 Niterói,參加下午 4 點的主日崇拜,由貢師母 Pastor Rose 傳講感人至深的父親節信息。教會也為父親們準備了禮物。享用蛋糕與茶點後,Niterói 團隊開始了第一晚的門徒訓練。
