Brazil Disciple Conference Report
Our conference was held from April 28-29 with the title, "If You Believe, You'll See God's Glory!" There were two main lessons: (1) Luke 5:1-11 - "Don't be afraid; from now on you will catch men" and (2) John 11:1-44 - "Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?"
Brother Reinaldo and Wendel showed spiritual desire and participated in our conference. The first lesson was delivered by second generation M. Joshua Park. Through the message, we heard Jesus saying, "Don't be afraid; from now on you will catch men."
Second gen M. Eun Hae Ahn shared her testimony and received God's grace through hearing Jesus' voice who said: "Eun-Hae, don't be afraid. I'm with you; you have nothing to worry. From now on you will catch men." She received God's grace and the new direction for her life to become a fisher of men, glorifying God through her studies.
The second lesson was delivered by second gen M. Moses Park. Through the message, we learned that in our difficult times, if we believe, we'll see God's glory! Through faith in the resurrection, we saw that we can rise from the dead as Lazarus did, hearing the voice of the Son of God. Even in the seemingly unfruitful Brazilian campus, we saw that through faith in the resurrection, we can rise as the shining lights and the blessing of God to many lives.
Ataiena shared her testimony and shed tears because of the difficult life she had been living in sustaining the house by herself, helping her mother financially, and having no vision for campus ministry. But though the conference, she gained new strength and hope! We pray that she may see God's glory in her life.
We thank God for his love for us that gives us his words of life. We pray that with Jesus' calling, we may follow Jesus and see God's glory in our hearts and in our ministry. Amen!
