So the last leg of our South America missionary
journey brings us to Rio - a city surrounded by mountains and with a beautiful
harbour. John and Flor Evans met us and
took us for steak dinner then a small walk on the island they live on. On Sunday we met as church, Rio Vivo, a great
group of almost 20 people passionately
worshiping with some great gift contributions. It felt full of life and I really enjoyed speaking. Afterwards we had a wonderful BBQ at Jonathan
and Becky's and then were taken to the oldest favela in Rio! These shanty like developments are all along
the mountains surrounding Rio and are often controlled by drug barons carrying
guns. Luke and Luis's home was right
in the middle of this particular favela and certainly was a "city set upon
a hill"! Very inspiring and
moving to see them touching so much need.
