Brazil~Land of the Palms~"Pindorama"
Map It Monday
Today, we place our map of Brazil on our refrigerator.
Our Prayer:
"Father, we ask that you would show these people in the country of Brazil Your Son Jesus, high and lifted up, that all men may see Him and know that He is Lord of all. We know you loved the world enough to send Your Son Jesus to die so that all who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ would be saved. We thank you for bringing the gospel to Brazil. Amen."
Stats and Facts Tuesday:
*Brazil is the largest country in South America and is home to almost half of the population of South America. It is the 5th largest country in the world.
*The Amazon River flows through Brazil. It is the 2nd largest river in the world and is about 4,000 miles long.
*Portuguese is spoken in Brazil.
*50% of the population is under the age of 18.
Prayer Challenges:
Transformational ministry is greatly needed in a nation ravaged by inequality, injustice, crime, immorality and HIV/AIDS. While mainline churches have a long association with compassionate works, evangelicals have done far too little to effect transformation. Only 12% of churches have any kind of social programme, and most of those are very limited in scope. Once evangelicals address these challenges on a massive scale, then they can consider themselves to truly be “good news people”.
Brazil has become a leading mission-sending nation with great emphasis on the unevangelized and on church planting. Brazillians’ faith, enthusiasm, adaptability and talents (football, music, dancing) open many doors, but poor preparation and support can undermine all these.
Our Prayer:
Walk in My Shoes Wednesday
Today we will read a story or two from the New Tribes Missions:Brazil website. This missions organization helps local churches to train, coordinate and send missionaries to tribes of unreached people groups.
Our Prayer:
"Oh God of the Universe, we ask that You would rend the heavens and come down. We ask that you would revive your church at home and abroad and put in her a love for the lost. God, would you send workers into the fields of Brazil to plant, water, and harvest, where no one has ever heard the name of Jesus. Amen."
Take Action Thursday
Today, we are going to read about the Royer family from the New Tribes Missions website. We are going to discuss their question, "What part in history were you born for?" and also the verse,
Our Prayer:
"Lord Jesus, we ask that you would pour out your blessings upon the Royer family in Brazil. Would you establish the work of their hands as they seek to serve the lost people of Brazil. Lord, would you show us how we too can use the grace that God has gifted us with to bring salvation to the lost. We thank you Father God for blessing Brazil. Amen."
