Prayers Requested

By
  • Irene’s daughter, Michele, had a motorcycle accident. She broke her arm and leg, and cut her face. She had a double surgery and is recuperating at home, bedridden for SIX MONTHS. She is stir crazy and about to drive her mother crazy too.
  • I took Roberto to his doctor. He is a faithful church worker at Colinas do Sul. He takes medicine for schizophrenia, a condition that limits him, but his new medicine made him shake, as if he had Parkinson’s syndrome, so that he couldn’t even pick up a cup. Pray for relief and his life, and ability to continue evangelizing the lost.
  • The Colinas do Sul congregation started in Naldo’s house. Naldo has opened up a bakery. This startup is wearing him out: long hours making bread, swamped in debts, fighting cut-throat competition. Pray for Naldo, his family, his spiritual life, his business, and the congregation that meets in his house.
  • Marcos, new convert from Colinas do Sul, has had his life turned upside down because of a painful skin condition: acute dermatitis or psoriasis. He lost his job because of it. Pray for him, his family, his spiritual life and for a new job to support his family.
  • Frank and Louise Cutler, Milan, TN, are long time supporters of our mission work. Louise was diagnosed with acute leukemia. The doctors gave her a month to live, but her life is guaranteed by Christ forever. Please pray for Frank and Louise.
  • Marcos Paulo, Ricardo Sobral’s son, got married. He left João Pessoa to go through the AIM program, and worked for a year and half in New Zealand. On his team was a young lady; they fell in love and got married this month.
  • We thank God for Jeremy Newlin’s family. His parents, his sister, his nephews, and niece came to visit Brazil and were blessed with a safe trip. Steve is the chairman of the mission committee at Joelton church of Christ. Darlene handles our newsletters and bank business.
  • Mark and Carolyn Hagewood arrived to continue their work in the Paraiba, especially strengthening church leadership in the interior and supervising the Right Step soccer project.
  • Several from Paraiba are traveling to São Paulo for the ENOC, a annual national church worker conference. May Santo, Elias, Roberto, Francinaldo, Raniere Vieira, Raniere Menezes, and Luciano come back uplifted from this week long event.
  • Jordan, Zezito’s son, wants to be baptized. He lives in Alagoinha.
  • Pray for Adeilton and Ana Paula. Their 16 year old daughter ran off pregnant to live with her boyfriend. May God guard their faith as they exercise tough love.

Unity Through The Word

By
          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

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
