I recently spoke to a group of Brazilian pastors and leaders in northern Brazil. In the group was a living example of love and loyalty. His name is Rev. João Tenório. He is man who was discipled and prepared for ministry by my father-in-law, Byron McCartney, back in the early 1960s.
When he heard that I would be giving a one day leadership seminar this dear man caught a bus and made the four hour trip to spend just a few minutes with me. He was honoring his love and loyalty for the McCartney family. I still am amazed at how loyal Brazilians are to their friends.
Being with this dear man was worth the trip. I pray I will be as loyal to the friends of my friends.
