The Battle of the Feminine Soul

This month seventeen ladies from Paraiba will take a 10 hour bus trip south to Aracaju for the Women's Seminar. In 2009 and 2010, I was invited to compose official songs for their encounters. This year, though not invited, I offered my contribution. We made a little video with Sabrina Hagewood as the warrior. You can watch it above.

The translation of the song:

I am a warrior of the day to day,
Fighting against the world and its lies.
The battle is for my soul
And I am the one who decides who wins.

Chorus: The victory is won,
            Conquered on the cross for me.
            Jesus paid his life, he did it!
            Just hold his hand and fight.

The enemy comes, I will resist
Even if he draws my blood
My hope is guaranteed
In Christ I live the Life.

Our fight is not against people
But against the principalities and powers
They will do everything to defeat us.
Nobody will take me from the hand of God.

2nd Chorus verse:
   I will be strong in the Lord
   And in his mighty power (Eph 6:10)
   He sacrificed himself, I sacrifice myself
   Anything to be with Jesus
   In my life Jesus will win.

Unity Through The Word

Thank you all for your prayers for the PORMISSOES meeting last month. It was a great blessing. We sat and studied God's Word together for the entire day. There were some differences of understanding on some passages, but we worked our way through them. In the end, everyone was saying how the meeting was edifying. It started around 9:30 am. We broke for lunch at 1 pm. We started back around 2:30 and went until 6 pm. They wanted to keep going, but the SEARA class started at 7 pm. If every meeting could be as encouraging as this one, we would be in heaven. My goal with these meetings is to teach the church workers throughout the state how to listen to someone who has a different belief about God's Word, try to understand their logic, their thought processes and share their own understanding from the Bible. My hope is that God's Word is heard above their personal wants, desires, or traditions. This is no

Sharing Jesus in Mexico

by Renato Menezes Renato is the second young person from João Pessoa to go through the Adventures in Missions program. His 18 months is Mexico is about to end, and undoubtedly he has grown tremendously in his faith during these past two years. Here is his report on his personal Bible studies: Praise God I started studying the Bible with one more person since last month, raising the number of weekly Bible studies to four. Ema is one of the main people that work at the orphanage where we have a ministry (the children from there call her mother). She would visit the church before, but stopped because of work and other things, but in the last months, she not only started coming again, but brought her daughter too. Some Sundays ago I offered a Bible study, and she accepted happily (I was happy too). So then Ramiro and I began to meet weekly with her to study the book of John. We talked about the importance of baptism and about whether her baptism was Bib
