The Brazil mission trip was amazing! We went out one day for evangelism and led 50 people to the Lord. 70 new people showed up for the next service. One lady received Christ who had tried to commit suicide the week before. Two ladies digging in the trash dump came to the Lord and brought their children to the next service. The people were convicted of their sins.
The Mall
On the last day in Brazil, the guide had our team stop at the mall to get a wedding gift. We walked to the food court.
Brian McDaniel saw a man playing the guitar and singing rock songs through the mall intercom system. It had a large video screen with audio. Brian prayed with his son Christian for an opportunity to give the gospel over the intercom/video system.
He went over and, in between songs, asked the man if he thought the people would want to hear about Jesus. The man said the people were not open, would not want to hear about Jesus, and only wanted to hear rock and roll. Brian asked, “What about you? Do you love Jesus?” The man answered, “Yes, I love Jesus!”.
Then Brian asked, “can you tell them that Jesus loves them?” The man told the people that Jesus loves them. Then Brian was filled with the Spirit and proceeded to tell the man what to say, moving through the gospel message, and the man translated every word over the intercom. In the end, there was applause from the crowd. This was the best Brazil shopping mall free gift they had ever received.
The tour guide, that had not allowed Brian to preach openly and had restricted any distribution of tracts came up and was amazed.
