The team enjoyed sumptuous Brazilian BBQ lunch and visited Botanical Garden of Curitiba (Jardim Botânico de Curitiba) afterwards. Sunday worship started at 5:30pm. Worship in songs were led by a joint praise team with local young adults and STM members. The sermon was delivered by Pastor Ed with on-stage translation (Cantonese to Portuguese) by Angela, a local young sister. It was a wonderful worship time with all ages and in three languages (Cantonese, Portuguese, Mandarin). After worship STM members participated in the prayer breakout groups. Of course, we had dinner at church with brothers and sisters.

This concludes our ministry in Curitiba. Tomorrow we will fly to São Paulo where the team will be split. Most of the team members will continue to fly back home (USA). Six of them will stay for more ministries.

團隊享用了一頓豐盛的巴西烤肉午餐,之後參觀了古里提巴(古城)植物園(Jardim Botânico de Curitiba)。主日崇拜於下午5:30開始,由當地青年與短宣隊員組成的聯合詩歌團隊帶領詩歌敬拜。講道由 Pastor Ed 主領,並由當地年輕姊妹 Angela 在台上將粵語翻譯成葡萄牙語。這是一段美好的敬拜時光,聚集了不同年齡層的會眾,以三種語言(粵語、葡萄牙語、國語)一同敬拜。崇拜之後,短宣隊員也參與了禱告分組。當然,我們也與弟兄姊妹在教會共進晚餐。

至此,我們在古城 Curitiba 的事工已告一段落。明天我們將飛往聖保羅,團隊會分成兩批:大部分隊員將繼續飛回美國;另有六位會留下來參與更多事工。
