Well it's official! October 21st will be the first ever "Festa Lusofana", or "Portuguese-Speaking Banquet" at Vision Baptist Church. Conservative estimates place Brazilian population in the metro-Atlanta area at 50,000, and Portuguese population at 5000. A sizeable portion of the Brazilians are evangelical, but mostly charismatic, and in need of a solid biblical church. As in Portugal, the vast majority of the Portuguese in the US remain blindly loyal to the Roman Catholic Church. This banquet is above all evangelistic in nature. It is a tool to bring lost people to a place where they can hear a clear-cut unapologetic delivery of the saving Gospel of Christ! Please be praying for this event, and for the people who will be attending.
Last night my wife and I met 4 new Brazilian men while visiting in the Roswell area, and all were very friendly and open when they heard their language being spoken. They are Guilhermo, Paulo, Marciano, and Pedro. Also, a Portuguese couple named Lino and Dadita are interested in coming to the banquet, and have invited us to come to their social gatherings to meet more Portuguese people. Praise God!
