~Mini AFF Reunion Sunday~
 

We were blessed to host the Alvear's missionaries to Brazil in our church last night and in our home for fellowship afterwards. Thad even poked his head in for about a 1/2 hour.

The Alvear blessed our church, shared the story of what God is doing through their ministry in Brazil. I have been wanting to connect with them for about 5 or so years, finally they was able to make it to the West Coast.

Bro Raul testified and sang beautifully, Sis. Janice spoke with much conviction from the heart about Brazil and the needs there.

It helped our church connect with a Missions Thrust in new way. There were tears, prophetic words and a generous offering that evem surprised me in the way people opened their hearts and wallets.

Will post some pictures later on.

They came over to the house afterwards for fellowship and fun. My youngest son David fell in love with their granddaughter and was leading her around by the hand, being a real gentleman.

I think the Alvear's are the salt of the earth, some of the most precious people alive today.

I felt a strong prophetic word that through their ministry over 1 million people will be influenced and hear about Jesus.

Wow it is hard to believe how fast David is growing up.

I know that had to be a treasured meeting.

It was so awesome to be with the Alvears it was like a dream come true!

When she did her presentation on Brazil, before it was all said and done there was not a dry eye in the place.

She told the most amazing stories, about sharing the gospel with people who have never heard it before.

She shared pictures of the churches they built, it gave Keith a burden to give enough so they could another church.

Bro Alvear is just how I imagined him to be! He is an excellent singer and I love hearing him talk about how him and Sister Alvear met.

I hope some day we can go to Brazil.

A bunch of my favorite people all together in one place! Wish I could have been there.

I laughed at the picture of Thad eating his healthy little bowl of soup when there was a bit pie right in front of him. LOL!

The Alvears are AWESOME! Glad you had a good service and fun time afterwards.

And yes, Elizabeth, you should definitely go to Brazil. I had a great time down there!

Re: ~Mini AFF Reunion Sunday~
 

We are planning on it! So glad Keith has a heart for missions.
