An interview with Priscila

Brian: Ok, today I’d like to introduce a young lady at our church who who has been visiting us from Brazil for the last 11 months. She is on our mission trip and her name is Priscila. Tell us, Priscila, about your experiences thus far on the trip.

Priscila: I have been learning so much, and I’ve been walking with a wise man named Walt. I’ve been learning English and a lot more about the Bible. I have been visiting the people and Walt is beside me all the time as we go door to door.

Brian: So…you are going door to door. What is your objective as you go door to door in the city?

Priscila: We go to visit the people who are new Christians from the service the night before. Sometimes, if they are not Christians, then we talk about the word of God and try to spread the Gospel and we always pray and always ask how we can pray for them. It is funny… they always invite us to come in the house. They want to make coffee and they want us to be comfortable. They love that we have come to visit and understand how far we have travelled. It is so special. Also, I can’t believe our church comes so far to visit Brazil. Even though I am a part of our group, I am a Brazilian, too, and I am very happy and impressed that our large group comes so far to visit my country.

Brian: How long have you been away from Brazil?

Priscila: I have been gone 11 months.

Brian: That is a long time! I see your father has met you here in Mato Verde. Tell us about your dad.

Priscila: Gilberto is my dad…and this is the first time I have seen him in 11 months. Renan is my brother and he is here too. They came from Sao Paulo. Sao Paulo is my city. That is a 24 hour trip from here. My uncle is Marcos, and he is here, too. They shared the driving duties for the 24 hour trip.

Brian: So this is a reunion for you?

Priscila: This has become a reunion for my family, and I have everyone here together for the first time in 11 months.

Brian: What team are you a part of here on the trip?

Priscila: I was on the VBS team but now am on the visitation team. That is where I am working closely with Walt. He is so sweet and kind, and I have learned a lot from him.

Brian: Is there anything you would like to say to your friends back at Parkway Hills?

Priscila: To my friends at church…I want to thank the whole church…everyone is so sweet and loving and I can see how God opened that door at Parkway Hills. I was asking God to open a door for a church. I just love Parkway Hills and I know God took me there to learn more about P-70. I know I will come back on this trip for sure. It is amazing that God took me all the way to Texas to bring me back to my country as a part of this ministry.
