Rewarding 3 weeks in South Brazil

Just wanted to let you folks know tomorrow finishes up our time here in South brazil and we heard back home tomorrow night. We were supposed to have traveled a week ago but revival is so strong and so many pastores and workers begging us to stay we decided to stay another week. It has been the most wonderful trip we have made in a long time.
Our bodies are give out and today is another FULL day...they sure have taken advantage of us being here! However God has given the needed strength.
I do have a special prayer request. There is a new work here needing chairs. A rented store front. We were able to see that they have 13 chairs but if I had an extra 200 dollars we could just buy them some more chairs BUT we have monied out...the needs are so many...so many...
I felt sorry for this little group that is starting up and the little lady that is reaching out to them. She doesn't have the means to buy chairs and they are raising rent money among themselves. They did not ask me for rent just if I could help them get some chairs...

I know America is hurting but not near like many other countries...Please even if you cannot give you can pray that God can speak to someone to help them. One thing for certain you can be assured if money comes in it will be given to them.

Sometimes I have THE BEGGAR COMPLEX because I ask for others...but I love these people so much...so much...thanks

During these 3 weeks we have seen at least 100 get the HG and seen several backslidders return to the fold.
We have seen several baptized in Jesus name and several instant healings. We are trying to help a missionary from Spain (Brazilian by birth) that has just returned to Brazil.
We do not feel it is best for him to work with us but he seems to be a good man. However he is a faith missionary and we have been dividing our food with him and his family. We pray and ask you to pray for this brother that God will direct him and help him start a work in Brazil.

I was kinda hoping he might go down to the boarder and start him a work since he speaks both Portuguese and Spanish. We sure would fellowship him and help him in every way possible.
