We Have Preachers to Send

By
by Ricardo Sobral

    "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!" Romans 10:13-15 
    We have preachers! Now is the time to send them. The arrival of the Campina Grande team has been decided: July 2010. We are organizing ourselves in terms of best time and logistics for the families to move. We ask for prayers from each one of you that they will find adequate living quarters and schools for the children.

JUNIOR, HIS WIFE KATIA AND THEIR DAUGHTERS, VALESKA AND ALICE
ISAC, HIS WIFE SOLANGE AND THEIR CHILDREN, , FERNANDO, RAQUEL, AND RAISSA

    We praise God for all the brethren that are contributing with this mission effort, sending their offerings to support these missionaries. We are also thankful for the faith of these families in the Lord, in trusting that He is moving hearts so that His work will be done in that city.
    May our Father and our Almighty Lord Jesus Christ be praised!

Support for these two families is being raised among the Brazilian congregations and brethren. For more information (in Portuguese), access the site:   http://campinagrandeparacristo.blogspot.com/

"What About Baptism?"

By
Edda and I went to a nearby city to study the Bible with a family, Genilda (who is already a Christian), Ana, Mariana, Luiza, and Jefferson. While we were reading God's Word, Ana's husband, Silva, came in and sat down, and then blurted out: "What about baptism?" It took me by surprise because he has barely studied with us, but, most certainly, is already thinking about spiritual matters. Our Bible study then took a lot of detours, answering this question or that. Silva said he still has a lot of questions, and we pray that the Lord will use us to answer them, bringing him to understand the Good News!

Weekend VBS

By
           The end of April, my wife, Monica, traveled to Patos with the AME (Adventures in Evangelistic Missions) group to have VBS with the church there.  It was the first VBS for the AME class and for the church in Patos, the first one in about 10 years.              Monica said that there were 24 children on the first day and 26 on the second.  It was a weekend VBS, Saturday morning, afternoon and Sunday morning.              They also did a campaign around the church building inviting people to the VBS, the church meeting, and an adult class on Friday night.  They also had a couples meeting as well as a youth group meetings happening in between other activities.              Needless to say, they were pretty busy.  They all came back exci...

One More Goodbye

By
This year has been rough for Borges's family. They lost a pillar in their family, his wife's mother in February. Now her brother has passed, buried today. He was diagnosed with prostrate cancer 18 months ago. A policeman, used to taking care of the family, he had to settle with being taken care of by the family as his body gradually shut down when the cancer metastasized to his bones. Borges and Geilza have spent every free moment taking care of Demilson's needs, and it has been torture watching him slowly wear away. His colleagues in the Military Police carried his casket, played taps on a trumpet, presented his family with a Paraiba flag, and thanked his family for supporting him in defending society for nearly thirty years. It was a nice gesture, but the event that gives us believers hope in the face of death is Jesus winning over the grave. He is our certainty that a grave is not the end.
