McKinney Report

      Lucéia found the João Pessoa's church building's address on the web and, with her husband Jocildo and their two daughters, visited our Sunday meeting. They started participating in the church's activities and since then Beijamim Junior has had a weekly Bible study with them. Lucéia is a disciple, having been baptized for the remission of sins and expressing her desire to work alongside the congregation in God's purpose. Junior presented her yesterday to the congregation. We pray that Jocildo is close to a decision for Christ. He told me that things have been changing in his life and he is liking the change. 

by Ricardo Sobral Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah! The LORD our God is powerful! To Him all honor and all glory! Our God is truly marvelous. We have completed what we started last year. In March of 2009, we challenged the brethren of all Brazil to raise R$ 40,000 (approximately $22,200). And in the past 12 months, brothers and sisters have responded positively.     We made it! Glory to God!!!! We have today R$ 40,170 committed for the sending of a church planting team to Campina Grande. Raniere Vieira and I went to São Paulo to participate in the ENOC and CRE events. We went there to complete what was proposed 12 months before to raise this money for 2010. We thank the brethren for completing the goal. We thank God for their willingness. Please, beloved, continue to pray for this work, that more will want to participate in reaching a city for Christ, for the campaign for 2011 has begun. Hallelujah! Thank you, Lord!

    Diego dos Anjos, before entering his medical school, decided to go through the Adventures in Missions program in Lubbock, Texas. After eight months of Bible training, he spent a year in Tlapan, Mexico, evangelizing and assisting in the mission work there. He was brought home early because of the H1N1 Flu scare. Since then Diego has initiated his journey to be a doctor and in the following tells about graduating from AIM. If you would like to receive Diego's bimonthly news reports on his continuing serving the Lord in João Pessoa, write him < diego_dosanjos@hotmail.com >   Diego dos Anjos:   Going to the States     In the beginning of February I got on a plane and took off to the United States of America. For more than a year I had been praying and asking God to give me this opportunity. The main reason was that on March 15th would be my AIM Graduation, and I wanted to be there so bad.     Well, for a while I thought it wouldn't happen
