The Big Three Events Are Down To Two

What one expects from a weekend campaign is:

· A lot of new contacts to visit;

· Bible studies;

· Visitors at a special meeting with an interesting theme;

· Excitement among the church for participating in something bigger and more important than themselves.

All of these ingredients we had this weekend.

The members came and left very excited to be able to participate in spreading God's Word. After 1,200 personal invitations to a Saturday night meeting, there were six visitors to hear and learn about Family. We also had 160 people take correspondence courses and leave their names and addresses for the Mangabeira church to visit. In two weeks we will participate again in inviting 1,200 people to take a classroom setting course, pray that the classroom will hold them all. All of this with the hope that from all of these 2,560 people we have invited to hear God's Word that some will have fertile soil.

Please pray:

· God will work in all of these lives to produce fruit;

· God may use us to prepare the hearts of those whose hearts are not already good soil;

· All those who participated in this campaign, through prayer, financial gifts and physical presence may have grown and continue to grow in courage and boldness in spreading the Good News all over God's great field, the World.

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
