PROMIFÉ = a Portuguese acronym for Projeto Missionário de Férias, or Vacation Missionary Project.
PROMIFÉ is always a life-changing experience.
Twice a year, in January and July, dozens of Brazilian young people come together for a full week of evangelism and leadership training. They share the gospel good news through home visits, kids clubs and the Jesus film. Local church partners are responsible for follow-up.
This time, Curt "roughed it" with the students, sleeping on the floor in a public school (remember, this is summer vacation break). He gave the message at one of the victory celebrations at the end of the week.
One of the highlights of the week was the emergence of a new crop of leaders, which should allow the project to flourish. They dream of implanting the PROMIFÉ idea in Angola during the next several years.
Along with these photos of PROMIFÉ, here are some other images from this week that will stay with me:
- seeing a pair of young people kneeling with two children on a city sidewalk in a gospel-driven encounter.
- hearing Andrew Trawick tell of his faith journey and the power of love to change his rebellious heart.
- learning the theology of the voids, in which God uses voids in our lives to draw us closer to him.
- cheering godly Brazilian young people who are grabbing the baton of leadership.
- serving with young people who have a passion for Jesus and the gospel.
