Feb.5,2009Today we had our first Impact at Donevan High school since the exams last week. We started the second session of a series called I AM Getting To Know God. Today’s session was about “When Bad Things Happen”. It consisted of someone sharing a testimony about how her mom was diagnosed with cancer and quickly got ill and soon after died. The young girl sharing the story is talking about how she got angry with God but rather then to run away with the anger, she ran to God with it! we had really good conversations after. one of the questions in the lesson was “If God is such a loving God then why do you think there is suffering?” It was really cool to hear what everyone thought. I challenged my gorup by asking them to ponder on this statement, “Without suffering, there is no compassion.” I told them it was like there would be no need for food if there was no hunger. The fact is that this is the land of the dying. We are not meant to stay here but to move on to Heaven where there IS no pain, sickness and death. We have to make sure that our hope is in whats to come and not in earthly things such as relationships, wealth etc…

I had the opportunity to go play volley ball last night with Pastor Frank and his group. There is one thing for sure, for a Brazilian, Pastor Frank is pretty good at volley ball haha. He was on the other team and needless to say they beat my team 
It was a very tight game (all three of them. we won the first but lost the 2 others). Even thought my team lost, I had a very good workout. It was really good to go out and hang out with the young adults and with other in the group as well. I can’t wait for next week now 
WOW, man I Don’t even know where to start, It was just awesome all together. I have never met a man with so much revelation about God’s Word. I remember the Mid-Winter Meltdown 2008 when Pastor Ebenezer Markwei came, I got to spend time with Him and He knew so much about the Bible. You asked him about a story in the Bible and he would know it by heart. I thought that was awesome. What i truly loved about Pastor Danny Bonilla is the fact that Not only did He know His Bible front to back but also the fact that He so easily challenged our thinking by shedding light on scriptures like never before. He preached from stories that we’ve all heard in Church but with a brand new pair of glasses. I thought it was awesome! let me know what you all thought of the weekend!
Bless you all
