"I like talking with my life, if necessary use words." The words of pastor Marcos at our one ministry point in Rio. Amazing how the meaning of this and the saying- actions speak louder than words- are making sense for the first time. When you experience something literally it's not only head knowledge any more, it changes the way you act and think. It becomes revelational. I've experienced so much of God's blessing, favour and goodness through people's hospitality and love and without being able to say a word. The language barrier at first frustrated me a lot but then I saw the power of God working through and speaking through actions and Him touching people's lives without us having to do anything.
What an amazing experience it has been- the opportunity to travel with awesome people for a year, seeing the most beautiful places and things and the best part: to seek Him daily and to share the good news most of the times just by "being" not even by "doing".
The amazone river and forest, tasting interesting new food, meeting lovely new friends, seeing pink dolphins and wild parrots, sleeping on a hammock on a boat for 6 nights, swimming in mountain pools and waterfalls, picking wildflowers in the forest, praying under the famous Christ the redeemer statue etc. has captured my heart and the excitement for the rest of the year has just increased!*
