Campina Grande Travel Update

Thank you all for your prayers during my trip to Campina Grande.

I met with the team on Saturday night. I wanted to hear from the three families what Joe McKinney and Christopher Boyce had discussed with them during their visits. My objective was to to help the team in unity. Joe McKinney has developed "The 16 C's to Team Building" and he went over the first, "Communication" with the team. I asked the families what they would like to talk about from the list of 16 and they chose "Dedication". Hey, the "16 c's" are "c's" in Portuguese not English. Anyway, we talked about dedication to their team goal, dedication to one another and above all dedication to Christ. We had a devotional time and fun conversation.

The team is really excited about the campaign on April 1st through 3rd. We worked out some details and everything is pretty much organized. Now, it is only a question of time before we hit the streets with the message of God's saving work through Jesus Christ.

I met with the church at night and preached. I really enjoyed my time with these wonderful families who have dedicated their lives to spreading God's kingdom wherever they may be.

Please pray that:

God will work through the team in Campina Grande to build-up His church in that city;
God will bring those whose hearts are good soil to study His word
the church will be energized and edified through participation in the campaign.

God bless you and keep you,

Jeremy, Monica, Nicholas & Dylan

Unity Through The Word

Thank you all for your prayers for the PORMISSOES meeting last month. It was a great blessing. We sat and studied God's Word together for the entire day. There were some differences of understanding on some passages, but we worked our way through them. In the end, everyone was saying how the meeting was edifying. It started around 9:30 am. We broke for lunch at 1 pm. We started back around 2:30 and went until 6 pm. They wanted to keep going, but the SEARA class started at 7 pm. If every meeting could be as encouraging as this one, we would be in heaven. My goal with these meetings is to teach the church workers throughout the state how to listen to someone who has a different belief about God's Word, try to understand their logic, their thought processes and share their own understanding from the Bible. My hope is that God's Word is heard above their personal wants, desires, or traditions. This is no

Sharing Jesus in Mexico

by Renato Menezes Renato is the second young person from João Pessoa to go through the Adventures in Missions program. His 18 months is Mexico is about to end, and undoubtedly he has grown tremendously in his faith during these past two years. Here is his report on his personal Bible studies: Praise God I started studying the Bible with one more person since last month, raising the number of weekly Bible studies to four. Ema is one of the main people that work at the orphanage where we have a ministry (the children from there call her mother). She would visit the church before, but stopped because of work and other things, but in the last months, she not only started coming again, but brought her daughter too. Some Sundays ago I offered a Bible study, and she accepted happily (I was happy too). So then Ramiro and I began to meet weekly with her to study the book of John. We talked about the importance of baptism and about whether her baptism was Bib
