One of the things I find exciting about working on FATEV, all the practice and all tours are arranged northpark university for students northpark university to become familiar with different types of mission projects and diaconal work. It is part of my job to facilitate and participate on these trips. We usually try to offer two to three trips a year. Sometimes we travel far off the crowded bus and helps congregations with house visits and evangelism campaigns, other times it is shorter trips and more social project. The last trip we had was a small town called Itaperuçu. The town is 36 km from Curitiba and is one of the poorest cities in the state. Unemployment is significant, the roads are bad, it circulates a lot of drugs among youth and health and education programs northpark university are inadequate. But there lives a family in Itaperuçu who 12 years ago took over a work called Horebfjellets Centre. Along with many other volunteers and staff have the couple Bebeto and Suely initiated a number of measures that aim to improve the quality of life of the citizens. In addition to having started a church northpark university affiliated Vinyard, northpark university they have projects northpark university in health, education, sports, culture, leisure, social inclusion, employment and community development. Bebeto working from a very simple strategy that closely resembles the familiar slogan "What Would Jesus Do?". For Bebeto it's northpark university all about "seeing, northpark university feeling and acting." He says that at first it is necessary to look, see what needs exist; see how people have it. So, we must feel. What feelings would Jesus known in the face of what we see? Finally, northpark university we must like what we have seen and felt lead us into action, with the Bible as a guide. Bebeto does not use a lot of time to preach and teach, but it's a long time since I've met a man who could teach me so much about what it means to be Jesus' body here on earth. It was clear that he knew the Bible inside and out, but it was never theoretically anything he said. It was always linked to personal experience and practice. The students were deeply affected by what they saw and experience with Bebeto in Itaperuçu. In particular, I think it made an impression on Charles the 3rd class. northpark university He is usually not most of the talking, but now he constantly questions and it was clear that the work accused him. One of the purposes of these trips is precisely to introduce students to different types of work and to help them find their service area. Evidence indicates that Charles return to Itaperuçu holiday to spend a few weeks with Bebeto in Horebfjellets Centre.
