Rick Preaches at Central Church Altamira

I always felt my role at our first big church plant in Altamira was to help Clenildo be as effective a leader and preacher as possible. The church started with a few small groups led by Clenildo, Elba, and Clenildo’s brother-in-law. Then it moved to our car garage where we managed to squish in up to 80 people on a Sunday morning. Then we rented a bar/club for almost a year before finally buying our Central Church property. I do not think I ever preached in Central Church on a Sunday night (the main weekly service.) In our next major church planting project I felt the Lord ask me to take a more visible role. I preached at the Mirante Church a fair amount of Sundays during the first couple of years. Last Sunday Clenildo had to leave town for a week, and he asked me to preach in his place. What a blessing! What a zealous congregation of young leaders! I was so overwhelmed by how far God has brought this group.
