Saying "good-bye" never gets easy

Saturday night Zoe celebrated and said "good-bye" to

Holly, Kristin, Caleb and Ellis. The four of them

came to Sao Paulo in August. They head back

this coming Friday. The IMB started a program called

"Hands On" a few years ago. It's a program which allows

American college students an entire semester outside

the US helping missionaries in their ministries.

Ellis, Caleb, Kristin and Holly simply came to make 

friends making a connection to Zoe. And made

friends they did. Zoe begins at 6:30 pm but the last person

left around 1:00 am. At last count, there were at least

80 people attending...and the food never ran out!

Talk about a miracle! :)

The room was in over-flow mode with people
standing, sitting and even outside. 

We laid hands on them and prayed...and
then we ate!
