Sister Alvear were you praying over those grounds? I felt like when I was looking
over that picture that you and he were praying over that ground.

Yes, I was and am asking God for funds for these many projects and especially help for the new jungle work.
Since we belong to no organization funds are difficult to come by and we refuse to be a political buddies to raise support because our calling and dream is to have a Brazilian church that will carry on after we are gone. Takes a lot longer and is a much harder life for the missionary but gives end results that are lasting.
Please pray for us the load is very heavy for the work is very big . We are deeply involved in church planting for eternity.

In the Sao Paulo area lots of our people have cars. In the northeast and other areas few have cars. When we began working in SP area 40 years ago no church people had cars. We taught for many years about the blessing of giving and gave classes helping the people know how to manage. Today we are seeing the fruits of those years. We are teaching up here and slowly the people are learning about God´s blessings and is promises also.
It takes time and progress. Brazil is a country of extreme paradox.
I deeply love our people and our home is always full of some of God´s beautiful jewels that He brought into our lives.
