<br><br> Although we obtained an Angolan visa in *****ia, we w**e conc**ned wheth** we would be allowed entry in the country - we had heard plenty of horror stories of irrational bord** officials. Th**e was a group sigh of relief when, with only an hour or two delay, we obtained access into Angola.

... netos. Desse tipo. Mas porra, eles pareciam radiantes, como se tivessem tomado uma droga qualquer, muita cafeína com pau de Cabinda, estavam completamente lançados para uma noite de amassar e meter na fornaça. E a música, a música parecia uma interminável peça tocada pela orquestra do exército congolês, um cd inteiro, lembrava uma sessão de improviso ordenado que foi cortado em faixas, de tal maneira que nem nos dávamos conta que as faixas iam mudando. A verdade é que eu adormeci a ...

... fazer a parte prática do evangelismo com a Igreja Assembléia de Deus Pentecostal por causa da chuva. Mas os missionários da Cruzada Estudantil ficaram encarregados de dar continuidade a conclusão deste trabalho junto aquela igreja.

Fomos recebidos pela equipe de missionários da Cruzada Estudantil e Profissional para Cristo de Angola, que nos conduziu até o local onde ficamos hospedados. Antes de embarcarmos eu estava tratando com o senhor Domingos (missionário da Cruzada Estudantil de Angola), o nosso transporte e ele queria que alugassemos uma viatura, mas eu havia ...
