A Little Taste of Heaven

This past weekend, instead of me traveling to Cubati, Afonso and Vânia came to João Pessoa and brought with them two young boys, Tuan (age 16) and Moisés (age 14). Both Afonso and Vânia have been investing their time and energy into these two young boys with hopes that they will one day give their lives to Christ and be God's light to others.

The guys spent time together playing, talking and eating, not always in that order, with the hopes of forging a deeper friendship and sharing more of Christ with Tuan and Moises. Monica took Vânia to a women's meeting. I don't know what they talked about but I am sure that a lack of words was not an issue. But hey, how can anyone keep silent after walking with Christ?

After returning to Cubati, Afonso called and said how much Tuan and Moises enjoyed their time with my family and the church in João Pessoa. Praise be to God.

Please pray:

That Tuan and Moises will continue to study and put their faith in God's Word and that their faith may produce fruit;
For Afonso and Vânia and their efforts to spread the message among a town that is full of immorality;
That the church in Cubati may make a difference in Cubati and that God's name may be glorified through their good works.

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
