I have shared with you the contagious nature of the Gospel, with the lives of real people as evidence: how Michel came to Christ, and through him his sister, Michele, who shared the good news with her neighbor, Severina, who spent this past week with her sister in Sapé. Can you guess what they talked about? Her sister now wants to be baptized. She will be the first convert in the city of Sapé, a city of 50 thousand people needing, some wanting, new hope for their lives. Sapé is about 40 miles from João Pessoa. Please say a prayer that God will prepare this city for the arrival of the Gospel.

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
