DEAR FRIENDS:
What an amazing weekend! Other than slipping out for my doctor´s appointment we spent the weekend at our son Raul Jr´s local youth camp. How refreshing to see Godly young people in our world today. Several were filled with the Holy Ghost and others renewed and one was baptized.
This weekend our son Arlei baptized four souls in the jungle area also. One of the ladies is from a local indian tribe. (state of Maranhao) He also just dedicated a new church in a village called Alvorada. The jungle work is growing.
Our church in Itobi (the interior of the state of Sao Paulo) had their local ladies services and many great reports have come from there.
One of the churches in the state of Minas Gerais just talked to me and they too had a baptismal service this weekend.
Talked with the pastor´s wife from the state of Ceara she told me they were in a tremendous revival.
This weekend the Mato Grosso work is having a marriage seminar.
The Bahia group baptized two more precious souls and are getting ready to dedicate the Breginho church.
Things are coming along in Maceio and they are beginning to see growth.
So many good things are happening all over Brazil. Just wanted to send this little note to you to thank you for your prayers and support. We are always so grateful for our noble homeland helpers.
So many are asking about my health. The doctors do not give me good reports but actually I seem to be feeling better. I know many prayers have gone up for me in the last couple months. One of the doctors told me my heart wanted to take a vacation…I grinned and he said, Do you know you go where your heart goes….
Well, some have asked about things to send to help us. There happens to be a few things we need (although most of these things can be bought here but most are very expensive)
As you know we are Kinda camped out here and will be for a while so anything you send must be sent to this address:

I am always reminded of this scripture: "For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, God's building. "According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building upon it. But let each man be careful how he builds upon it. "For no man can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. "Now if any man builds upon the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, "Each man's work will become evident; for the day will show it, because it is to be revealed with fire; and the fire itself will test the quality of each man's work." (
I Cor. 3:9-13)
Love is the most important tool when it comes to sharing the Gospel.
May the Lord of harvest richly bless you precious friends.
