Patos is the third largest city in Paraíba and figures largely into the PORMISSOES plan to reach the whole state for Christ, and it will be done one step at a time. Christ has provided the shoemakers to help in these steps. Maurício is a Patos brother in Christ who is also a shoemaker. When he started living and speaking for Christ, his co-worker Wilson studied the Bible with him and also became a Christian last year. Wilson shared Jesus with another co-worker Márcio, who was baptized recently. These three disciples start off their days together in prayer, in the Word, taking steps alongside our Lord in the city of Patos.

Friday, May 22 nd , the Luna congregation had an all night vigil of consecration. We went from 9 pm to 5:30 am, and over 50 people participated, from the ages of 10 to 75 years. In the prayer corner, brothers and sisters signed up for time slots so that we would have prayer without ceasing. The vigil focused on Consecrating our Lives, in Gratitude, in Unity, in Service, and in Sharing . Each part consisted of prayer, singing, Bible Reading and Reflection, and practical activities, like in Service, we washed everyone’s feet, and then everybody joined in making breakfast for the group: homemade bread, fruit, tapioca and eggs, juice, and coffee. In Sharing, we ended with a wonderful meal together in family, talking about people with whom we want to share the gospel. Spend
