Talent Show

The LSTers have had an activity every Wednesday night at the church building to bring their English/ Bible students and our church frequenters together to get to know one another. This past Wednesday night (before the baptism) we had our last Wednesday night event which was a "Show de Talento!" One of our teens, Andre, played "We are the Champions" on the guitar while his cousin, Irla, sang, one of the English students did a Brazilian dance, and a Father and his two children did a drama skit. However, most of the show was put on by the North Americans who told the story of Jesus through song. It was a memorable night and we had an even greater attendance (over 50 people) than at the previous weekly events. The LST group had to say goodbye to many of their readers. Alicia, one of the Canadian LST members, said, "I have made stronger friendships here in 6 weeks than I can make at home in 3 or 4 years because here we began our friendships talking about God and matters of the heart." The LST ers will be sorely missed by our Mission Team as well. They are leaving us a lot of follow up work to do!(*) Bernard, Alicia, Kreston, Ashley, Logan, Christy and Candace have truly been an encouragement to the work here. May God be with them as they travel home on Monday and afterwards as well as they continue their journey with Him.

I've always thought it was a neat program. I hope to do some LSTing someday.
