The women in the Luanda, Angola, church enjoyed an Easter retreat with their preteen and teen daughters, and friends—the first in-person event in three years. They were 70 in total and had time to connect with God and one another, and had lots of fun.

Judia Rodrigues, who leads the women in Angola says, "We just wanted to provide an opportunity to relax and recharge our batteries, especially for those sisters who haven't had time for themselves in a very long time.

"Our time spent together was marked with collective and individual times of prayer and meditation, amazing lessons, games, swimming, massage, party, Bible studies and lots of fellowship and fun!"

The event was capped off with Tunda's baptism. His mom, Paula, was also at the event.

Judia says, "One thing that helped us measure the impact of the activity, is the phone call we received from a brother who supported us with lifts for some friends and disciples after the activity. He called asking what happened during the weekend, because the women in his car were all happy and couldn't stop talking about the activity."

The sisters want to extend a big "thank you" to the brothers who supported them. "This activity was, in part, possíble and successfull because of them. We are very grateful for them," Judia adds.
