Arrival in Rio de Janero

The team arrived in Rio this morning at about 7:00 am (5:00 am Nashville). There were no difficulties receiving our bags or going through customs. Everyone is in his or her rooms getting a well needed rest from the flight. We will have lunch at 12:00 pm, then our orientation meeting. We are looking forward to getting started with what God has planned for us.

I know the fear is always, will we be ready to serve? Will we have what it takes to fulfill God’s Plan? The answer is YES!!

As it says in Corinthians 1: 5-8

“For in Him you have been enriched in every way-in all your speaking and in all your knowledge. because our testimony about Christ was confirmed in you. Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed. He will keep you strong to the end…”

Im so glad to hear of your safe arival. It's exciting to think of all that you will accomplish over the next two weeks and how much love you'll be sharing with the people who need it most. I found a verse to keep in my prayers for you from 2 Corinthians 5:20..."[You] are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through [you]". I just know God is going to reach out to Brazil through you these next two weeks. Betty and Tony, thinking especially of you two! Love, Britt
