The way you articulated the concept of experiencing God through community really resonated with me. I often think we get so caught up in our individual faith journeys that we forget the immense strength and beauty that comes from sharing our faith practices with others.

Your description of the Brazilian church service in Santo Andre is beautiful. Even without understanding the language, you connected through the shared passion for God. That really speaks to the universality of faith and the power of collective worship.

I especially appreciated your insight that faith isn’t just personal, but shared. That’s a great reminder, and something I’ll definitely be thinking about moving forward. It sounds likes this trip is truly changing your heart and giving you valuable experiences. Thanks for sharing your journey with us!

It’s so powerful to me how you articulate experiencing God through community in Brazil. I especially appreciated how sharing everyday life—joys *and* difficulties—deepened your bonds and revealed a greater sense of His presence.

I’m curious though, did you find certain cultural aspects of Brazilian community life particularly helpful, or challenging, in fostering that connection with God compared to what you might have experienced back home? And were there specific *practices* that you found to be profoundly impactful – perhaps certain forms of prayer, shared meals, or collective service efforts? Thanks for sharing your heart.
