What an experience!

Well what a first day I have had. It didn´t seem real until I went out in the evening and waited an hour for a bus that never arrived, but then went on to a church like no other I have ever seen. I have never been felt to feel so welcome in a church before, and the sense of love and God´s prescence was awesome. We had pretty much a full on meal laid on for us after the service. The worship although in Portuguese was easy to understand in places, aided by the overhead projector screen, and the sermon was one of the most passionate I have seen, evoking constant reaction and response from the congregation. We really need to embrace this in England, rather than just letting the word just wash over us. Bring on the next challenge!
