Calvary Campo

On sundays we have a service in the morning for mainly the English speaking students and at night we have a service in Portugese. Last sunday night we had a baptism on campus, and two Brasilians confessed the Lord.
On Wednesdays we have a service in town, which is about half an hour from the campus. Please keep the evangelism we have before Wednesday services in your prayers. Many people come to salvation every week, and the Lord is opening doors to share the Gospel in different schools here.

It is exciting to see the Lord work,
and may He be glorified in all!

Love you guys,
and thank you for your prayers!

God´s created nature




The nature is awesome here! We have all different kinds of animals here on campus. Today I saw a monkey swinging in the trees. They also have tucans here, but I didn´t see them yet. There are all different kinds of butterflies, and we have three horses on the property. I love this place, it is so peaceful and relaxing.

School started


This is our first week of school, and yesterday we went to town for our first Portugese class. It was a fun class, and I look forward to communicate and witness to the people here in Brazil. Please pray for open doors and boldness to share the Gospel!
Last night we had our midweek Biblestudy downtown. The service is only in Portugese, so
it is challenging, but I´m sure we´ll be able learn the language very fast hearing it constantly.
Every week before church we´ll be evangelizing and inviting people to church. The Brazilians are very friendly and open people. Please pray for the Lord´s Spirit to guide us and to break all language barriers.
May our Lord Jesus be magnified!!

Orientation day

Yehhh, I arrived at the Biblecollege! It is sooooo beautiful and relaxing here - such a contrast to São Paulo!!
On Saturday we had our orientation day. In the evening we went to town for some icecream. And on the way there we saw the moon eclipse!
It is a huge campus in the middle of the jungle, and we have a lot of exotic animals here - tucans, monkeys, huge lizards, etc. It is an beautiful place here, and I love being in the middle of God´s awesome created nature.

Welcome to Brazil

I arrived in São Paulo!! What a crazy city: it has 30! million citizens, the poor live next to the rich, the homeless are sleeping on the pavement, and the criminality is very high. It´s just one of these huge cities, but it´s so impressive! The second day I went to Santos, a beach about 1,5 hours from São Paulo. It has a big sandy beach surrounded by green hills. The water wasn´t very clean. I didn´t like it much there, but I heared they have some beautiful beaches here. I´ll try to go there after this semester since I have about two weeks for travelling.But the most exciting thing about Brazil: they have so many fruits, mmmhhhhhh. I didn´t even know that there are about 400! different kinds of mango. And I tried a fruit I never saw nor heard about before - ´jaca´. It is about half a meter! long, and it tastes a little like banana. It´s not my favorite.. After three days I left São Paulo and took a bus to Campo Mourão, where the biblecollege is.
