Women's Conference - Dia a Dia
Foi maravilhoso ver como as coisas aconteceram! Foram tres dias de muita alegria pra nos em poder estar de alguma forma contribuindo para o crescimento das irmas do vilarejo onde realizamos a Conferencia de Mulheres. As irmas brasileiras que convidei para participar - Pra. Andressa, Cristiane e Fernanda, tiveram muita sabedoria nas mensagens que trouxeram. Falaram sobre “identidade” - quem elas sao para Deus e em Deus. As palavras que foram trazidas sao de grande importancia pra elas, pois aqui, como em toda a Asia, as mulheres nao sao valorizadas. Quando nasce um bebe, se for menino e motivo de muita alegria e festa, mas, se menina, eles lamentam: “Que pena!” A Palavra que foi ministrada a elas nessa conferencia, foi para mostrar que independente de qualquer coisa, elas sao muito importantes pra Deus; foi Deus quem criou a cada mulher, desde o ventre de suas maes; Deus foi formando da maneira que Ele queria, e por isso, elas sao mulheres muito especiais para Deus.
No primeiro dia tivemos o culto pela manha, com ministracao da Palavra e, a tarde, ensinamos elas a fazer bolo. Aqui nao e comum comprar fogoes com forno, pois eles sao muito caros, e mais caro que uma geladeira; e o forninho eletrico que e mais barato, pra elas continua sendo muito caro, (e claro so dara pra usar se na vila tiver energia), por isso, levamos 3 panelas que compramos de uma outra organizacao missionaria, essa panela e especial pra se fazer bolo em cima do fogao, ela assa o bolo. Elas gostaram demais de aprender a fazer bolo e de ter a panela para fazerem quando quiserem.
No segundo dia tivemos tambem o culto de manha e a tarde fizemos a “tarde da beleza”. Andressa cortou o cabelo delas, Cristiane fez as unhas e eu e Fernanda fizemos pranchinhas nelas, isso foi muito bom pra elas, para elas se valorizarem mais, e claro, elas ficaram muito alegres com o que lhes estavamos lhes proporcinando!
No terceiro dia ja tinhamos planejado fazer um culto evangelistico; deu certo de uma equipe de brasileiros da JOCUM, que estao passando pela Asia, estar vindo pra ca por ocasiao deste evento, entao pedimos se eles poderiam estar conosco nesse ultimo dia, e eles puderam. Vieram 16 pessoas. Fizemos o culto ao ar livre. Antes do inicio a equipe saiu pelo vilarejo para convidar as pessoas a virem. Quando o trabalho comecou, tinha poucas pessoas presentes, mas aos poucos, enquanto os irmaos iam fazendo teatro e coreografia, e ao mesmo tempo evangelizando, as pessoas comecaram a chegar, talvez pelo barulho que ouviam. Foi maravilhoso!! No final, a Fernanda foi a frente e trouxe uma palavra Evangelistica com muita ousadia. Terminada a apresentacao, fizemos evangelismo pessoal.
Louvamos a Deus, por tudo, como aconteceu. Embora estejamos ainda no tempo das moncoes, durante essa conferencia, so choveu uma noite, mas no dia seguinte, enquanto subiamos para o vilarejo, as estradas estavam secas, isso foi muito bom, pois para se chegar ate a vila se passa por uma serra, com uma estrada cheia de buracos, e quando chove fica muito dificil o acesso.
Queremos agradecer voce que orou por essa conferencia, pedindo a Deus que te abencoe grandemente! Muito obrigada!!

It was just wonderful to how the things happened! These were three days of great joy for us, knowing that we are contributing for the spiritual growth of those women from the village where we did the Women’s Conference.
The Brazilian sisters that I invited to participate in this conference: Andressa, Cristiane and Fernanda, they all were wise in the words they brought. They spoke about “identity in God” – ministering about who they are in Christ and the importance they have for Him. These words they spoke are of great importance as here, as all around Asia, is not given value to women. When a baby is born, if it is boy, the family cheers, but if it is a baby girl, they say: “What a pity”! So, they women were ministered, they knew that in spite of the cultures they are in, they are very important for the Lord; it was God who created them and from the wombs of their mothers the Lord cares for them. He created which one of them in a special way He made them, as He wanted, for that reason, they are special.
In the first day, in the morning, we had service and the Word of God was ministered to them; in the afternoon, they were taught to make cake. Here it is not common to have stove with oven, they are extremely expensive, sometimes more than a refrigerator; the electric oven, which is cheaper, is still expensive for them, specially for people from villages; besides that, many times they don’t have electricity in the villages. So, we bought 3 “miracle pans”, from a Christian Organization – it is a special pan, used for baking cakes on the stove. They just loved to learn to make cake, and the idea of having the pans available for them to do it whenever they want to!
In the Second day, we had the service in the morning again, and in the afternoon, we did “The Day of Beauty” for them. Andressa had their hair cut; Cristiane did manicure work, and Fernanda and I did the hair settings; it all was very good for them to give themselves more value and of course, they were all very joyful with these things we were giving to them!
The third day, we had already planned to have a evangelistic service; it worked out that a team from YWAM Brazil was coming as they were on a trip around some countries in Asia, so they could be with us, doings their performances in this last day. They were 16 people. So, we had a open air meeting, with dramas, dances, circus arts and the preaching, which was very good! We had a time before the meeting started to go around the village with the team, inviting everyone on the way to come for watching the dramas and dances they would be performing. When we start, there were not so many people, but as they heard the sounds of the songs and musics, they started to show up. It was wonderful! At the end of their performance, Fernanda came to bring an evangelistic word and she was very bold! As the program was finished, we started doing personnel evangelism.
We praise God for it all, for the way the things went so nicely. Although we are still in the monsoons season, during the conference, it rained just one night, but the very next day, when we were on the way to the village, the roads were dry; it was very good, because the access to the village is very difficult and when it rains it get worse for reaching there.
We want to thank you for having prayed for this conference, and we ask the Lord to richly bless you! Thank you very, very much!!
Thank you for partnering with us in our ministry!
May the Lord reward you with blessings – …“A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap”…! (Luke 6:38).
