Special Need

[Rev. Raul Alvear Jr]

Some pressing needs: Anything you can do great or small will help releave some of the pressure on me and my folks at this time.

In the state of Mato Grosso do Sul we were given a lot to build a church but the mayor gave us a time limit so we desperately need someone to help on this project. I am thinking we can build a small church for around 5 thousand dollars. We do not need this at one time but a little help each month on this project until we get it built.
We are also building in Paraguay and the construction there is in need of 500 dollars this month. You cannot imagine the poverty we face in this area. If they ever have a church it will depend on our homeland supporters for these people have nothing.

The church that is pastured by a leper man that was destroyed by a storm is almost up and I thought we had raised enough to cover it but materials have gone up so much he called me and asked if I could help him raise a little more. That is in the state of Minas Gerais.

We have bought a lot in the area where we baptized a whole church full of trinity people for they were kicked out of their building over Jesus Name and we need to raise at least 2000 dollars to help them. Brother Charlie James helped us get this lot and the bricks to begin the building.

In Maranhao they have asked if we can find someone to help them buy furniture for their little building in the jungle city of Barra do Corda. The bible institute we are building is in need of 2000 more bricks than we raised mney for plus cimente s and sand. We neeed at least another 1500 on this project. Things have gone up so much...


In Ceara missionary Milton and his family need a refredgarator and a few pieces of furniture. They left everything they had 2000 miles away and came to be national missionaries.

In Maceio we are building on the dorms and to cover the second floor we are needing another 1200 dollars.

In bandito Bentes we just roofed the new church there and are buyng the windows and doors this week the Lord willing.
We nave several pressing needs in the stae of Minas Gerias and in the state of Para where we are enlargeing the church there.

In the stae of Sao Paulo we are also involved in remodeling and enlargeing several churches,,,

N the state of Sergipe we have been offered a lot to build a church but funds keep us from accepting the offer.

We are also building another church in the state of bahia.

We have the Murice church ready for the roof as soon as money to roof it comes in

On and on I could tell you hundreds of needs,

My heart bleeds with desire to help everyone I can but my strength and means are so limited. I too depend on those that read our letters for God to speak to their hearts.



BECAUSE OF CALVARY !
