Sunday In Portugal

Sunday gave us a glimpse of what the missionaries’ lives 

look like as we attended 2 church services.

It was great to worship with the Portuguese!  We even knew 

some of the songs.

At the 11am service in Lisbon the Angolan pastor shared 

about a 14 year old girl who has never heard the name 

of Jesus.  He had the 15 young people of the church 

stand and challenged them to be bold in their faith.  

Then the congregation prayed in small groups for 

150 free tickets to an upcoming soccer game; 

each of the 15 young people are to invite 10 of 

their friends to the game so that they can meet 

a few of the players and hear their testimonies.  

Join us in praying!  He also challenged the 

adults to be a part of this to provide the necessary 

transportation.

He then preached on Galatians 1:6-9.  Do you know 

the Gospel the way God’s Word presents it?  Is it a 

 pure Gospel?  We must know the one True Gospel!

After enjoying a nice lunch at “home” we piled back 

into our cars for another church service at 4pm.  This 

church is the daughter church of the church we attended 

in the morning, and the services are held at the institute 

where Kate, LaVerne, and Lesley teach English.  This 

was a much smaller church, and after the service we 

enjoyed a light dinner.

Pastor Paul preached on Matthew 9:35-38 – the harvest 

is plentiful but the labourers are few!  He reminded us 

that if we are disciples, we are automatically labourers.  

And what happens if it’s not harvested?  We lose the 

harvest, so act now!

With no financial, family, or geographic limits, what 

would you be doing?  Perhaps this is what God is calling 

you to.....

What a wonderful reminder that our God is the God of 

all people, tongues, tribes, and nations!
