I thank you all for your prayers. In a dark time it is good to know that there is still someone praying! They have not found the car yet but they continue to look.

We have been under great perscution from every side however GREAT have been the victories. I recieved word that in South Brazil at one of the churches over 20 people recieved the HG this past weekend. At a local ministers meeting in just one area they had over 100 ministers present...a trinity preacher was baptized in Jesus name...

No wonder the devil and all his helpers would like to stop us...however we as a family will stand for right and keep on preaching Jesus to this lost world. The devil would like to get our eyes off the eternal to the passing things...He would like for us to stop building...but we refuse to listen to Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabs, the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites and whoever would like to stop the work of God.

The scripture the Lord gave me lately is:

Our God will fight for us." NEHEMIAH 4:20


And that He is doing in an awesome way...

The Feast of the Tabernacles, when Israel dwelt in booths made of tree boughs to remind them that they were simply strangers and pilgrims on earth.

A month ago we had 2 cars..the Caravan and the Meriva...now we have none...we were in Brazil now we are in a Spanish area preaching...and baptized one Sunday...

We do not have internet where we are staying but we are in town right now and have found a place to check our e mails and browse on the net for a little while.

We were very shocked at what happened but are thankful no one was killed. With all the great victories in Brazil no wonder the devil wants to get rid of us...

Hebrew 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

In the mist of a storm...God is moving in an awesome way...new souls are coming out to our revival in this Spanish community and we are seeing results...Keep praying for us and our family. Thanks.

Brother there is humor in some of the things that happen in this world and, I think it comes from God so that we can laugh at the devil in his face while we triumph over all the trials and win the end race.
