Commissioning Service

On July 6th, we had a really special service, handing the church over to Victor & Vânia. The team from The Fireplace was here that Sunday, which made it extra special - to have a "representation" from the States here as well. Chad started out the service giving a word to the church, that they are READY and PREPARED for this transition and for the new and exciting things that the Lord has for this congregation. We then had a time of prayer for Victor & Vânia, blessing them and handing the mantle over to them. After that, as a prophetic act, we asked everyone to come front and give Victor & Vânia a hug, expressing their acceptance and welcoming them in as the new pastors of the church. Then Victor finished the service giving a short word and then led us all in communion. As we were finishing communion, a young man approached Victor saying that he wanted to give his life to the Lord. This young man's name was Victor too! So Pastor Victor was able to lead young Victor in a prayer, giving his life to the Lord and then they took communion together. It was such a special time. Here are some pictures from the service.
