In Rio I met several college students who were my age and – thankfully – spoke English. They regularly volunteer with our missionary friend and work in the favelas, and it was cool to see young people taking risks to share the gospel.
One person I met was a guy named Thiago. He often goes with our friend to the streets at night to share the gospel with prostitutes. He told me that, at first, he was completely overwhelmed by the idea of talking to these girls on the street. But now, he approaches them with confidence and love, and often they hear him out.
And I met two girls, Gisele and Natália, who also work with our friend. They volunteer by leading bible studies and helping at free health clinics.
Gisele and Natália also played tourguide for our team and took us to Corcovado to see the famous Cristo Redentor statue. Hanging out with them was one of my favorite parts of the trip, and in February, they’re coming to Santiago!
