Dominguinho has turned out to be an incredible expression of God's grace to this old community on the Lago Grande de Manacapuru (the Big Manacapuru Lake) and a great start toward the establishment of a New Testament church. During the time of house to house visitation as well as during the worship services at night, 42 people gave testimony that they had met Jesus Christ as Savior for the first time. One incredible blessing is that among the translators for our team is the pastor of a significant Baptist church in Manaus. He plans to return and organize his church to begin to disciple these new believers. Amazon Vision will undergird this effort, constantly praying that the Lord would fulfill the potential evidenced by these new believers. Won't you join us in this prayer effort?
The medical team was very active in Dominguinho with over 140 patients treated; the dental team was able to work with over 30 patients. This demonstration of the love of Christ in the village was undoubtedly used by the Lord to prepare hearts for the good news that was proclaimed in the services.
The team leaves this evening and will travel by night toward the northeast. Their next port of call will be where the Lake begins. We will publish the name of the village and the initial results as we recieve news from this great team led by Westside Baptist Church.
