Missions

On August 28th, our DRIME Brazil team returned from a life-changing mission experience. We spent three incredible weeks working with Janz Team Ministries, sharing the Gospel with thousands of people in public schools, church outreaches and on the streets. We also held five training workshops during our time there and were thrilled to see many Brazilian youth gain an enthusiasm for street drama evangelism. The mark of the Lord was undoubtedly all over this trip. Everyone who was a part of this venture, from DRIME members to translators to Janz Team staff, could sense the supernatural working of God. Doors opened wide to minister in public schools; students, we were told frequently, were unusually attentive; the response on the streets was overwhelmingly positive; pastors were refreshed and renewed; people came to know Jesus as their Savior for the first time and others found new passion in their relationship with Him. Over and over, we heard stories that confirmed that God truly used us to make a difference for Him that is UTTERLY DISPROPORTIONATE to who we are. What a joy and privilege to be a part of His Kingdom work! This was, no doubt, His place, His team and His perfect timing. Praise to Him! Our most sincere thanks goes out to all our new friends in Brazil and all those with Janz Team [Brazil and Canada] who made this possible. We know that God is very much alive and at work in your lives and in your ministry! Thank you for leaving your mark on our hearts!

“During our last presentation in Gramado, we performed Obsession, which is a drama expressing how God's heart burns for us. As I faced the crowd surrounding the platform, tears filled my eyes. In just a three short weeks, my heart had fallen in love with this country, this city, these people. With my heart so full, I was overcome with how much love Jesus must feel. What a privilege for me to be a part of such a powerful message. How unworthy I am to speak of His love and life, and how worthy He is of worship and praise. Thank you Jesus for your consuming love for us. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to taste your love for us and your love for the people of Brazil. My life will never be the same!” [Carissa Brey]

“I remember that day when we were in Brazil and God used us, despite our weaknesses and inadequacies, to make a difference that was utterly disproportionate to us. And I remember that day because it was truly every day of our trip.” [Lisa Beiderwieden]
