Prayer Requests

By
Reinaldo is a dear brother here in João Pessoa. His weakness is alcoholism, with the accompanying spiritual highs and lows. The Men's Group will meet in his house tonight with the hope of strengthening him once again. Please pray that he will trust in God's grace enough to not give up.

Iremar is another brother with a long road ahead of him health wise. He is 78 years old, and is in the hospital after a heart attack, valve replacement surgery, double pneumonia. He has the will to live, and his family can't wait to get him out of the hospital. Please say a prayer for him also.

Lindomar is a simple man living on a farm, at one time a Assembly of God preacher. We are studying the Bible together. He is tired of church politics, and is open to the simple teaching of God's word. Please pray for him, his family (his wife is not too happy about the directions he is taking), and for the little rural Pentecostal church he is helping with. They have a choice to make, because he confronting doctrines and teaching what he is learning that the Bible says. Let God be in control of this situation.

Flavia Folkeman is a dear sister who has had some rough family issues, lots of pressure, lots of difficult people to deal with, along with a new grandbaby to raise. She sent me this message last night: "I am under a spiritual attack. I can't go to the church meeting. Always something happens that keeps me from it. I am getting weak. Help me."  Let us all help her, your prayers along with the encouragement of brothers and sisters here.

God bless each one of you who takes time to pray for the Mission in Paraíba.

Consecration

By
           We know that God can do anything. The question is what will He do? What will the Lord do in the lives of His people when they consecrate themselves to Him? We hope to find out.           Friday, May 22 nd , the Luna congregation had an all night vigil of consecration. We went from 9 pm to 5:30 am, and over 50 people participated, from the ages of 10 to 75 years. In the prayer corner, brothers and sisters signed up for time slots so that we would have prayer without ceasing. The vigil focused on Consecrating our Lives, in Gratitude, in Unity, in Service, and in Sharing . Each part consisted of prayer, singing, Bible Reading and Reflection, and practical activities, like in Service, we washed everyone’s feet, and then everybody joined in making breakfast for the group: homemade bread, fruit, tapioca and eggs, juice, and coffee. In Sharing, we ended with a wonderful meal together in family, talking about people with whom we want to share the gospel.           Spend

Luna Men

By
The men of the Luna church of Christ have a weekly meeting for the purpose of edification and planning God's work in the congregation. Some are going strong, others have family problems, and we all want to grew in God's purpose for our lives.  Last night's meeting included a discussion of what really happened on the cross, on resting in Lord in the Psalms. We made plans about the upcoming Carnaval (Mardi Gras) retreat, and talked about the need to do some manual labor on our building.  Though the group was smaller this week, there is a hunger to serve. Five out of the six committed spending Wednesday ripping up a big wall that needs to be redone. Whether leading, studying, admonishing, evangelizing, or tearing up a wall, let God use us to His glory!

Pentecost in Paraíba

By
"This is Pentecost in Cajazeiras," Rivaldo Café said, "Almost three thousand were baptized in Jerusalem, almost ten in Cajazeiras." A wild comparison, of course, but the excitement that produced it was legitimate. Six young men gave their lives to Jesus and were baptized on Saturday.   I was blessed to be there: the sixteen hours on a bus, going and coming, was worth it. I went to teach a weekend couples' seminar on the theme "God Gave Me You". The couples (around 12) were mostly parents of kids in the Right Step Program. The changes in these boys' lives have made an impression on the families, many of which have started Bible studies too.   Saturday morning, after the soccer practice, three of the boys asked to be baptized. We headed to the building. Café began filling the portable swimming pool while I talked to the boys about what it means to come into the Family of God.     Franze (15 yrs), Luam (14 yrs), Jorcelam (17 yrs)
