zoe marajoara

You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.

--Jesus

zoe retreat

this weekend we held our first ever zoe retreat. we kicked everything off with a huge party at the house on friday night. we had over 40 brazilian college students show up. it was incredible. we followed it up all day saturday with several teachings and worship led by a pastor from virginia, who brought down a group of his college students for a week. we were even able to see a young girl give her heart to christ. the theme of the retreat was "whatever it takes." it was a great weekend. and i saw god move in so many ways.
