Surprise Birthday cake

The seminary students and faculty had a surprise birthday cake for me today after chapel. Brazilians love an excuse to have cake, and these cakes were delicious! They also always clap when they sing "happy birthday."

The Piano arrived!

The Lord provided funds for a grand piano for Jan's music ministry through many generous friends in the U.S. She enjoyed each minute of its arrival, assembly and then getting to sit and play it!

Children's Bible Club

Saturday we had our first Bible Club at Victory Baptist. We were pleased to have over 20 children present. Of course, some children were from our church, but a good number came from the neighborhood as a result of the seminarians visits.

Easter Sunday

We had a sunrise service at Igreja Batista Vitoria (Victory Baptist) and then breakfast. Our people really enjoyed the time of fellowship. In the evening service the adult and children's choirs presented special numbers.

Seminary Singspiration

On Good Friday Jan and I invited our seminaries students to our apartment for a singspiration. The kids had a great time singing and giving testimonies. Afterwards Jan served brownies, which are always a favorite. Several students gave testimonies about how God provided for them to return this semester.
