Requesting Money - Don't Worry, It's Not from You!

The Right Step Program is a social project that benefits boys and girls between the ages of 10 to 16. There are exceptions in the age bracket for older kids who have been through the program and still want to continue. The kids are, for the great majority, from families who struggle financially. The Right Step Program is not in place to help financially but to help in an area that we were all lacking at some time in our lives, spiritually.  The church in the city of Cajazeiras has grown substantially in number, due in a big way to Right Step. 
The Federal government in Brazil gives grant money to approved social projects, as well as, other benefits for those being served. The costs are many when caring and training over 100 boys and girls and you, the church, have supported this work to this point. I am not writing to ask for money. I am writing to let you know that we are trying to be approved by the government for grant money. It is not just the money that would be beneficial.  If approved, Right Step might even be able to provide dentists for the kids, who do not go very often, but hey, who really wants to. (Sorry, dentists, but I'm sure you've heard that before), a bus could be requested for use on trips to other cities at no cost to the program, also balls, uniforms, and other accessories could be provided. Those are the more costly things Right Step could offer. 

Please pray:
* that GOD'S WILL MAY BE DONE in approving or not approving this request;
* that the Right Step program can continue to be a great evangelistic tool for the Lord's church;
* that God may bless the church in Cajazeiras with spiritual maturity.

Unity Through The Word

          Thank you all for your prayers for the PORMISSOES meeting last month.  It was a great blessing.  We sat and studied God's Word together for the entire day.  There were some differences of understanding on some passages, but we worked our way through them.  In the end, everyone was saying how the meeting was edifying.            It started around 9:30 am.  We broke for lunch at 1 pm.  We started back around 2:30 and went until 6 pm.  They wanted to keep going, but the SEARA class started at 7 pm.  If every meeting could be as encouraging as this one, we would be in heaven.           My goal with these meetings is to teach the church workers throughout the state how to listen to someone who has a different belief about God's Word, try to understand their logic, their thought process...

The Second Generation, Part II

In 1993 when we came in contact with a young struggling couple in Caruaru, Paulo and Simone, we never imagined what plans God had in store for them. Now 18 years later (Wow, has it been that long?), after conversion, ups and downs, growing pains, working to further the Kingdom and living it, they have had the pleasure to witness the beginning of their daughter's life in Christ. Juliana (age ten) was baptized by her older brother, Jheymerson, who was also ten years old when he gave his life to Jesus. What a wonderful blessing to have one's whole family saved in Christ! Maria and Cícero were also converted when we lived in Caruaru, though single at the time. They dated and got married, the ceremony performed by yours truly. Maria has been faithful to Jesus all these years though going through several difficulties. Cícero, on the other hand, fell away, but came back and renewed his life and his marriage, and now, along with Juliana, his daughter Vitória (age ten) was baptize...

First Time Baptizing

        Last Wednesday Lucas decided to give his life to Jesus and was baptized. His parents were converted in Cajazeiras, and since moved to João Pessoa and meet with the Luna congregation. Renato started studying the Bible with him, and then Adeliton continued the study. Adeliton is one of the AME students, preparing for the mission field.   "I planted the seed, Apollos watered it,  but God has been making it grow."  1 Corinthians 3:6                  This is the first time Adeliton has baptized someone; he was excited and is preparing for more. I talked to Lucas about counting the cost of following Christ, and he said that following Christ no matter the cost is what he wants for his life.         First time baptizing, a new life bor...
