Exodus

Change is a fact of life. In the past six months we have felt that in
João Pessoa, brothers and sisters moving to other cities.

- Our AIM team of 6 young people, Michael Miller, Erick Paddy, Jenny
Merritt, Ashton Woods, Tiffany Dominguez, and Nyasha Alufayi, completed
their mission here and returned to the US. Boy, do we miss them.

- Lidiane moved to Ireland to work.

- Aninha moved to Natal because her husband was transferred there.

- Celia moved to Brasilia because her husband's job was transferred there.

- Hunter, Lori, Mathias, Sabrina, and Daniel Hagewood have moved to
Recife, since the company set up an office there.

- Fabio and Regiane moved to Campinas, São Paulo, also related to the company.

- Joe and Linda McKinney's time in Brazil has ended and they moved back to
the US.

We miss them all, and some seem irreplaceable in the work, but God
is in control and has a mission for each one in their new homes. Please
pray for our brothers and sisters around the world.

The Planting, the Watering, and the Increase

Emesson started coming to Bible Club over a year ago, when Neil Schultz and Cait Beckloff, our AIM team, were teaching it. For several months, they planted the seed in his and his sister's hearts. Unfortunately Neil and Cait's time in João Pessoa ended. In 2014 Bible Club received a boon when Erick and Jenny Paddy, former AIMers, returned to the field and picked up teaching the Bible Study for English speakers. They watered the sprouting seed in Emesson's life until God's Word became more important for him than just practicing his English. Last Wednesday night, God gave the increase, adding Emesson to the Family of Christ. Sometimes things don't happen when we think they should, but God is in control; His time is best, and we must thank Him for playing a small part in His plan. 

"What About Baptism?"

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!

Samuel McKinney's New Life in Christ

It has been only three days since Samuel gave his life to Christ, but it is so exciting to see my young son exercising his faith, like getting upset when his history teacher at school taught that miracles in the book of Exodus can be explained by natural phenomena: low and high tides in the crossing of the sea, natural disasters for the plagues, etc. The day after his baptism, Samuel went on a trip with his school and received a new nickname: the boy who reads the Bible. He read 1 Samuel, chapters 1 through 6, out loud for the whole bus to hear. His eagerness to take the Lord's Supper for the first time was refreshing. May our Father bless all our families with life changing faith.
