What is it?
Whatever you think this is, you are probably wrong. It is not chicken or fish. It is Tele Moraes, President of World Renewal-Brazil's favorite dessert. What is it? It is grilled pieces of cheese with syrup poured on the cheese as if it was french toast or pancakes.
We are having a great time together. The food in Brazil is excellent not counting Tele's cheese stuff. Meat is such a large portion of the Brazilian diet. Most restaurants have steaks available. The eatery in these two pictures was a rib joint. However, they seldom have any sauces for the steaks or meat. What is a rib place without barbecue sauce? No complaints on my part, most of the food is identifiable and in my book that is a good thing.
Last night three young men gave their lives to Christ in Amexias after I preached. I love preaching with Tele translating for me. Some times I start a sentence and then just turn and tell him to edit it by adding or taking away whatever is needed. He is a passionate preacher so we seem to work well together. The three young men who led the music and worship were new believers except for Tiago the pastors son. I have known Tiango since he was little and he is still very young so it was a blessing to see him playing the guitar up there.
Amexias is one of our newest churches. It was a wonderful blessing to be in this new church as I remember about five years ago visiting this little sleepy village of about 5000 people. Indiana people raised $25,000 to build the new multi-purpose structure for the first building. 65 people from a Baptist church in Rio traveled over 3000 miles by bus and stayed 30 to put it together.
Have a great Sunday! Thanks for stopping by.
