September Month of Prayer for the Gaúcho People



The Metropolitan Porto Alegre area of South Brazil is home to more than 5 million Urban Gaúchos, less than 1% of whom have a saving relationship with Jesus Christ. September is an important month for the Gaúchos, as it marks the anniversary of their civil war against Brazil which shaped their distinct cultural pride and fierce independence. Millions of Gaúchos turn out to celebrate their culture and heritage in civil war reenactments and celebrations this month. The Month of Prayer for the Gaúcho People recognizes the spiritual significance of this month and draws together believers across geographical, cultural, and denominational lines to declare that September is a turning point when through prayer, the Gaúchos who have lived in darkness WILL see a great light, and that the gospel will take firm root and spread throughout this spiritually needy land. Pray that God would raise up more prayer warriors to stand with us and the Gaúchos before the throne of God and declare that God will raise up His church and that His light will shine brightly in Porto Alegre!

What a lovely idea! I will surely pray for the Gaucho People.

I have not visited you before but came across your name as you tried to leave a comment on two posts that I authored via my Metis Linens blog.

I do wish that you had an email address as I would rather write you via a more personal format. But alas this is it.

I imagine that you did not intend for your comments to be sent to me but rather the intended.
As I am an innocent party I presume that you understand that I chose to delete the comments. I respectfully and lovingly would like to request that you not use the Metis blog for similar correspondence in the future.

I personally have a loyal ebay, etsy and blog following that I have honestly earned over the course of many years.

Have a blessed day.
