The Petra Zone

When I became a Christian, the first Christian record I heard (a LP, I became a Christian in 1988, and there was no CD here in Brazil!) was "Not of This World". It was a mark in my life, because even secular radio stations aired NOTW. While I was hearing "Grave Robber", at some night, I was baptized...

I see that this problem is not a local problem (brazilian, american, mexican, etc...), but is global. It's a sign of the times we are living, the last days before His return.

Dear Micah, here goes the translation: "Este f�rum � para Petheads que falam portugu�s".

Ol�! Hi! Be welcome!

Dear Micah, I can translate into Portuguese for you. What message is this?

For sure, my little girl is the most important thing in my life, after God and my wife! If do you want, I can send you more pics from her. Just email me!

I'm at a master's degree studies in Urban Missions, and my dissertation's theme is "Christian counterculture: the Christian underground from Brazil according to the concept of form and freedom of Francis A. Schaeffer". I'm at the research, so I need help about the role of Petra at the Jesus Movement...

Well, your friend can make a favor for us all, who are not at Mexico City: she can put it at the web for download!

Bem o primeiro disco (LP) do Petra que ouvi foi "Not of This World", quando me converti em 1988. Aquele disco me marcou muito, pois fui batizado no Esp�rito Santo enquanto ouvia "Grave Robber". Desde ent�o, resolvi colecionar todos os �lbuns do Petra, e gra�as a Deus, tenho todos, desde o 1ï...

I remembered another discrepancy between Portuguese and Spanish: if you say, "mira!", a Spanish-speaking person will understand "Look!", but a Portuguese-speaking person will understand "Aim a gun!" . So, if you visit Brazil, be sure if you say "mira" far from an armed person...

Some people think we at Brazil speak Spanish, but we don't. We speak Portuguese. There are a lot of similarities between both languages, but are some discrepancies, too. For instance, a same word can mean "embarassed" (Portuguese) or "pregnant" (Spanish), or "weird" (Portuguese) or "tasteful" (Spani...

I posted at my last visit here about the situation of brazilian TV, and Jerry told about his country, Canada, that's going to the wrong lane :cry:. So, I had an idea: let's run a prayer chain for our countries, through the internet. I think prayer is a poweful tool we have, but it's a tool some peop...

I don't know how immoral is Brazilian TV. If do you want to visit Brazil, please be careful about what you watch on TV. But, tonight, we had the final chapter of a popular soap opera (TV genre very popular here), where the "good guy", a surgeon, married an ex-lover, who divorced from one of the surg...

Hi, I'm writing from Brazil. Unafortunatelly, I'll not go to the Petra concert, because they'll play at the North, and I live at the South, a distance more than 1000 km! And, unafortunately, J&H wasn't released here yet. When it will be? It's a torture, because everybody say it rocks, but I didn't h...
