The protestant priest

The weather was great today, so we had our team meeting on the terrace of a little restaurant overlooking the beach, where they served excellent coffee and red wine. Who doesn't want to be a missionary in a setting like this? We prepared our upcoming European conference in Wilderswil, scheduled for February next year.

Roy Wingerd and Amaury Braga, the prayer coordinator for Dawn Ministries, joined us, as well as Luis, a Brazilian church planter to Spain. Luis found an effective way to minister to people in a Catholic cultural context and gained a reputation as 'the protestant priest' who hangs out with young people in the clubs downtown.

In the afternoon Nunu, a young Portuguese church planter, took us to Nazaré, an old Portuguese town with grandmas selling pottery and a wonderful beach where we caught some huge Atlantic waves.

In the evening Oswaldo Prado, the DAWN coordinator for Brazil, and Olgavaro from Tribal Generation presented the church planting developments in Brazil. With Amaury, who also lives in Brazil, I had a good talk about developments in the worldwide prayer movement.
