In Cajazeiras, Paraíba, the Right Step program has produced another
young man who has given his life to Christ. His name is Italo
Fernandes, fourteen years old, and he has been studying the Bible
for eight months. We praise God for Italo and his young faith, we
thank God for the Right Step program that is giving these young men
hope where otherwise they would face lives of addiction, perversion,
and darkness. The celebration included his friends jumping in the
baptistery with him.
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.
