Pastor Fan and the sisters of Cantonese Group B came to Niterói to meet with the Mandarin Group. They divided into two teams to visit new friends and old acquaintances in Niteroi city, talk to them, and care about their health, life and business situation. The doctors in the team also brought simple medical packages to take medical care of friends who could not come to the free clinic last weekend, such as burns and ankle pain. In addition, we also prayed with the family members of the Lord we visited, blessed, and encouraged those who had not been living in the church for a long time to resume Sunday worship. In particular, we earnestly prayed for a sister who had already believed in the Lord in China. We prayed for God’s healing and recovery.

8/12 Mandarin Team Report
After the early morning devotion , the Mandarin team was divided into two teams to continue to visit downtown Rio. Today, it is especially focused on inviting young people to participate in the youth “Overflow with Blessings Cup” party at Starbucks coffee shop in the evening, and visiting first-time believers in the past two or three years to clarify their doubts, strengthen their confidence, and encourage them to participate in the biweekly Saturday gathering.
In the evening, the “Overflow with Blessings Cup” party gathers with young people, talks about everything, and gets together happily. Although many young people who have been invited are unable to attend because of their busy work or the burden of their families, the friends who come to attend are sure of the format of this party and will continue to invite more friends to participate in future gatherings.
