Quality Time in Alagoinha

On a bright and shiny Sunday morning, I traveled to Alagoinha with the hopes of encountering the bright young man who had shown interest in wanting to know God and being used by Him to help the church grow.

I did find him but not as motivated as I would have hoped. I tried to set up a time to study with him before arriving but was unable to do so. When I arrived I asked to study with him and his first response was no: he did not have time because he is involved in campaigning for a politician in his city. (This year there are elections for mayor and city council members.) After sometime, he came to Antônio's door (the man with whom I usually stay when in town). We sat and talked, studied and prayed together. He is hungry for more, but I cannot be there all the time, and in between my visits I fear he may lose some of his fire.

I know that I am not the one in whom he should put his hope, and I do not pretend to be, but he needs someone to walk alongside him and to tell him about Jesus, the man that I have come to know over the years.

Please pray:

That God may give me wisdom and discernment to see who He is raising up to travel and train in the state of Paraíba;
That God may raise up servants who are seeking to train and teach others;
For the church in Alagoinha, a small congregation that is having a hard time growing spiritually as well as numerically.

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.
