It’s Wednesday morning at the retreat compound outside of Brasilia, Brasil. Like yesterday, the temperature is already in the 70s and will be in the mid-80s with lots of sun plus probably an occasional rain storm that will sweep through and leave.
God was powerful at last night's service - lots of calling out to God for healing from pride and shame and reclaiming our true identities as children of God. I asked Linda to play piano in the background as we prayed and then she played "How Great Is Our God" - a number of the Brasilian (yes, with an 's' in Brasil) pastors knew this song in English and sang along with me, with the rest singing in Portuguese.
In a few minutes I'll be giving my core teaching on how God forms and transforms the human heart into greater Christlikeness.
I'm just finishing breakfast. I sat at a table with 3 Brasilian pastors. One of them spoke a little Spanish, so I was able to communicate with him.
Thank you for praying for all of us today - God has great things in store for us!
