I Heard It On The Radio

I have visited Areial for about 12 years now. The Church had grown to around 15 members but many fall away. There are now three Christians in the city: Sônia, Beta, and Bia. Sônia has been asking for a family to come live in the city to better establish the church and evangelize. We have been encouraging her to evangelize on her own and not to wait on someone to do it for her. And she acted.

Well, the church in Areial now has an hour spot on the local radio station. It is every Sunday from 12:30 to 1:30 local time (9:30-10:30 CST). You can hear it over the internet at: www.rcafmareial.com . One Sunday, I had the opportunity to speak on the program. It has been going for three months. Twenty eight people called in to the radio station while we were on the air.

The church is still asking for a family to come and live in the city to help evangelize. The difference is that they are doing what they can. There are five people studying the Bible through correspondence courses. It was a very encouraging visit. Instead of talking about what they could do, the conversation has now changed to what they are doing and how others can help.

Please pray for our sisters in Areial and their effort to reach others with God's message.

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
