Historic Week

To our Mission Prayer Companions,

 

                This week will be a historic one for the João Pessoa church. Our first group of AME students will graduate after having spent successful tours of duty in Brazil (Palmas and Feira de Santana) and Colombia (Bogota).

                Also at the graduation, the new class of future missionaries and their families will be presented to the church. Two of the directors from AIM (Lubbock, TX) are coming for the event.

                We will also have a citywide meeting of the churches in Joao Pessoa on Sunday: Family Day.

                Pray with us that the Lord will be in control and exalted in these plans.


Thank you, Joseph

World's Party vs. God's Party

           While many others from all over the world were partying hard during Carnaval, most of the churches were at camps, away from the partying, praying, studying God's Word, and sharing meals and life together.           While many of the world were trying to forget their problems, looking for the next thrill and giving in to their lack of self-control, Beatriz and Lidinez, two young women who had been studying the Bible with Givanildo, were immersed into Christ in the small, forgotten town of Emas.  They gave their lives to Christ, and He solved their biggest problem, giving them true joy and confidence to walk with God to control their fleshly desires.  It seems like they are off to a good start.            The rest of the world is still searching for the next party.  I can only imagine the party God and His angels had over these two sisters.  If God is throwing the party,
