Walking by Faith

Here is a little bit of an update from James. He is a student at South Alabama spending his summer with the team in Brazil.

"I have met three (3) Rafael’s. Yes, three. And two of them are bald/shaved heads. But its great. I’ve got to spend a decent amount of time with them the past week and am starting to become close with one in particular.
The whole point of the discussion groups we have every Wednesday night is to get people to ask questions and to think about life and the purpose of it. We might not be sharing the gospel with any method you’re use to but we’re moving the Truth forward slowly. Yesterday, we discussed how short life is and how people deal with it.

Discussion groups are a great time to sit down with different people and share your beliefs. Its really amazed me how open people are to talk about it and how, overall, the Brasilians have loved it. I’ve really started to get a better picture how certain people see the world and who they are and I know this will continue.

This week there has been a futsol (spelling?; its soccer on a basketball court with a goal on either side) tournament on campus. A huge number of students show up for the games. They play two games a day. Right now we’re just trying to meet as many students as we can. I would go into more detail but every day is different. We plan stuff but we have to be really flexible down here. Plans change and that’s okay.
