Dear Friends
Say not yet, there are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? Behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.
John 4:35
Greetings in Jesus name from Brazil.
October and November have been very busy for us between the states and Brazil we have seen over fifty people receive the Holy Ghost. That is our greatest privilege and reason for being Son earth.
We have been baptizing people about every Sunday here in Campinas.
This month we painted the entire church of Itobi and reformed the Casa Branca and Novo Angelo, Jales 1, Jales 2 and Fernandopolis churches. It seems I go to bed with a paint brush in my hand and wake up with one in my hand!
The command to go into all the world and make disciples is a call to embrace the future with a radical obedience.
This obedience keeps us on the go all the time, this week in Sao Paulo and Minas Gerais and next week and Ceara. Thousands of miles of traveling over many bad highways staying in bug infested places with many spiders and insects - yet - all in search for souls.
I would like to give a special thanks to Pastor Bow, Hearn and Davies for special offering on the camp ground.
I would like to ask each one of you that receive my letter if you are not helping us would you please consider taking my family on to support. Lately our monthly support has been a record low and the work is growing. We need your help so much. I seldom mention our needs while we visit in the states but felt that some may not know we are in need of monthly support.
I was thinking that only once in Scripture did Jesus give three parables in a row (Luke chapter 15). He did so to illustrate God's profound concern for the lost soul and that love grips our hearts. We have already started sending out national missionaries to several areas of Brazil. The burden of souls is very heavy on our hearts. These national missionaries depend very much on our help until they can become self-supporting.
We also thank you for being co-laborers with us by investing in our ministry. I rejoice for I know that the souls won here harvest have been added to the account of each of you that have invested and prayed for us. Thank you so much.Today in some places there are two, and three generations of men and women who almost from their cradle have been trained to think missionary thoughts, pray missionary prayers and make missionary sacrifices. Your prayers and support have sustained us, and we look forward to hearing from you.
A part of the divine plan:
