We will just provide a quick summary of events from t
he last portion of our trip, but we are looking forward to having the opportunity to give a word of report to the church.
Sunday morning we went back to the Leonard's church at Parque Grangeiro. Gene shared a short devotional, we sang some songs for the Sunday school opener, and then attended some of the classes. Pastor Logan taught the adult class.
After church we took a tour to Juazeiro, up to the statue of "Papa Cicero". On the way up Jim talked us through the history of the city and Papa Cicero. It was very sad to see the idolatry and confused people.
Sunday night we attended Source of Light Baptist Church. They were having some evangelistic meetings and invited us to sing some specials and testimonies. We had invited many of our unsaved friends from the English Camp to come to church that night and a few of them showed up!
At 10:00 that night we left for the bus Station. 
The bus was a sleeper bus that drove through the night to Fortaleza. We arrived in Fortaleza at about 7 am and had breakfast at Tapioqueiras. After breakfast the Leonards we took a bus the Brazil Gospel Mission house where we were able to get cleaned up. Then, we took the bus to the Market. We spent about an hour and a half shopping for souvenirs and gifts. We did it quickly because we wanted to go see the ocean as well!
After the Ocean, the Leonards took us to a very special restaurant called Churrascaria for lunch. It was an all you can eat meat buffet! They claimed to have over 25 different cuts of meat that they brought to your table and sliced off pieces onto your plate. What a treat!
We went back to the Gospel Mission
and Showered one more time before heading to the airport. At the airport we spent some time in the chapel recapping the week and sharing some short testimonies of what we saw God doing in our personal lives.
The Leonards are a very special couple. They are without a doubt committed to the work of the Gospel and church planting in Ceara, Brazil. They are committed to eachother and they love the people of Brazil. They are willing to sacrifice greatly for the cause of Christ. They are not attached at all to material possessions, and everything they have is being used to exalt Christ. Our aim in going on this trip was to be committed to serving the Leonards and ministering to their needs. Quite the opposite happened. We are eternally grateful for the experience of joining arms in the ministry with the Leonards. May God richly bless them for freely giving of themselves, their resources, and time.
Obviously we made it back to Rochester. Gods might hand of protection was with us. He showed himself to us in many ways.
Our Theme passage for the trip was Philippians 2:1-8
Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy, fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others. Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.
