Rio Preto: Meeting God




Last weekend we were involved with the "Meeting with God", a special retreat for evangelism. The focus is to give the non-Christians the opportunity to have an intense time to reflect and have their lives changed by many different preaching and prayer moments.
The word of God was preached concerning character, the love of God, the passion of the Christ, restoring dreams, libertation, our inheritance in Christ, multiplication and the Holy Spirit. The gospel and the plane of God are preached in one weekend. After most of these preaching, there was a time to receive prayer and take decisions for God.
We managed to take eight people to this weekend. Six of them have never visited our church.
What a tremendous experience! Five of them took the decision to follow Jesus in our church. The weekend “Meeting with God” is a great tool for evangelism.
On Tuesday we prepared a Welcome Party for the new Christians. After a worship moment, I preached about abiding, based in John chapter 15. After meeting Jesus we must keep our faith and abide in Christ. We had a special fellowship prayer moment welcoming each of the new participants in God’s Family. Then, every new Christian got a “Guardian angel”, an older Christian to help walking the first steps with Jesus. Finally, we had some food together. 
After all these happenings, we are about to start a worship group in Church, a youth cell and multiply the adults cell. The next meeting with God is going to be in September.
Hopefully, God will bless us with these achievements.
Thank you so much for your prayers and God bless you as he has blessed us!
We are praying for you in Norway

In Christ,

Tiago Seilert.
