The Fellows in Brazil are experiencing God’s global family through worship and building new relationships. Hear from three team members who are seeing God at work in a different cultural context than their own. God is using the international immersion month to expand these students’ perspectives and grow their love for His Church.
During our time here in Brazil, God has revealed himself in universal ways to all people. He is working in the context of individual cultures to form relationships with His people. Although the church here operates very differently than my home church does, it is clear that the same God is behind both. The passion of the Brazilian people is an inspiration and something that I will carry back with me.

I have been challenged to be more intentional in opening my heart to God’s voice during worship. The way the LifeShapers in Brazil celebrate and praise is infectious and enthusiastic. It is a true joy to get to know them and be immersed in the vibrant culture. I have experienced the enthusiasm of the Brazilian people for God and His Word both through individual conversations and by listening to the speakers at the Infrequencia conference.

One thing I love about Brazil is how welcoming the culture is. Brazil has a joy and warmness that brightens others’ hearts and welcomes newcomers in. The culture is more relationship based compared to America’s transactional exchanges. I’ve learned the power that a smile, a laugh, or a piece of music can have. So far, Brazil has taught me the importance of hosting others well. I have learned how to love others well and be more welcoming. I do this to show them the joy and love I have in Christ.
