The true heart of the Abide Brazil ministry is our weekend retreats in the mountains of Southern Brazil. God has given us such a wonderful place to disciple His children by teaching them the simplicity of abiding in the perfect presence of Jesus moment by moment. September 5-7 was one of our most powerful retreats. It was a manifestation of God's willingness to teach all of us no matter what he phase of our lives.
The youngest participant was 15 and the oldest 84. Some were pastors and some have known Jesus as Saviour for less than six months. Some were married and some were single. One was from France, two from the USA and the rest from 4 Brazilian cities. What kept is together was the constant focus on Jesus who abides in us all.
Even with all the differences that can so easily divide we experienced the oneness Jesus said we would enjoy as we abide in Him. What a wonderful way to make disciples a tour through God's vineyard is!

Dear Pastor McCord,
It was a real blessing to participate in this special study of God's Word and Love. And to really share our thoughts, feelings, and doubts in order to learn how to abide in the Lord. God bless, Cristina
