After 10 hours in the air, the Mission Brazil Teams finally touched down in Brazil. The Americanos were greeted with a diffent culture of seemingly pleasant, but rushed people. One quickly began to two sides to the Brazillians: easy-going and always ready for conversation, yet hurried to get to some important destination.

While Wednesday was given to the close confinements of buses and a plan, Thursday brought our arrival in Brazil and opportunities to get out and explore the hotel's surrounding life. Opportunities for sharing Christ were quickly discovered as people began responding to the need for salvations.


In addition to the arrival activities, today's gallery show some of the city life just beyond the hotel. Several used sports to open the door for witnessing. Finally, today marked the beginning of 'marking' thousands of Portuguese Bibles. These Bibles will be key tools in sharing Christ. Important Gospel verses are highlighted for specific use during witnessing. In addition to this, each is Bible is marked with instructions for the reader, similar to the Roman Road.
