One of the remarkable aspects of the culture in Brazil is that we are a very religious people. But unfortunately, although religious, many people lack a relationship with the Lord. To them, He is a distant God, accessible only through the mediation of ministers. The God presented by Jesus is a personal, intimate God who wants a relationship with us. He can be found in the secrecy of our room more easily than in the noise of the altars. Of course, community is important, but the point here is that our Father (It’s so amazing He chose to be known as a Father!) wants to meet us in person, face-to-face, and not from a distance, in the middle of a crowd. And Jesus does not say He will listen to us when we pray, because He knew sometimes we don’t have the words. Rather, our Lord states that the Father sees us.

Haggai stirred my passion for people and changed my life in many ways. Right now, I work with hundreds of people, and my daily prayer is to be a light for these families.
