Praise and Prayer Request Aug 2018

Greetings from your coworkers to the Portuguese-Speaking World

Dear Friends,

We would like to share with you just a few highlights of what God been doing through us in the last few months.

In April we received the visit of our Brazilian Missionaries to Mozambique Kleber and Juracema, they had the opportunity to report at all BROLM (Brazil River of Life Ministries) in Sao Paulo area. God is doing an amazing ministry through them among the Makua People. They have plant 94 churches, have baptized over 2000 ex-Muslims in to Christ, the Hope School has over 1000 students and the Hope Home has over 100 children.

Regis a young man from the Bom Retiro Church was baptized in May. Regis has been coming to church for over 2 years, finally he was ready to confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

Deborah and Marcia from Pirituba Church were baptized in June.

Deborah was raise in the church, however she left church when she was adolescent and spend most of her life hating Christians. She was diagnosed with thyroid cancer, almost die during the surgery to remove the cancer and came back to church and now she is a new creation.

Marcia had in many an abusive life until she met Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior and her life was change.

Reaching the homeless we serve breakfast and dinner to the homeless near the Pirituba Church every Sunday. Many have confess Christ as their Lord and Savior and many are getting back on their feet working and going back to their families.

In July we received a team from Journey Christian Church. They came to teach English at the local churches. They had a full schedule teaching at Campo Limpo Paulista church in the morning to members of Campo Limpo Paulista and Jundiai churches, teaching at Pirituba church in the afternoon and in the evening at Sao Mateus church. This was a great experience they did a tremendous job we hope they will come back.

We have been very blessed to have Isaac with us since May 16th for his second internship with BROLM. Isaac has preached, lead worship, done Communion and offering meditations at all BROLM churches in Sao Paulo. He is very talent and has grown so much in the last year. He will go back to USA on August 7th for his junior year at Johnson University. Isaac is working very hard to be trained to come back to Brasil as full time missionary when he finishes his studies in May 2020.

We need a lot of wisdom to continue the day by day ministry activities; we have a very full schedule.

We will be at ICOM in Cincinnati, OH, from Monday 12th to Sunday 18th; we have several meeting in preparation for my presidency for ICOM 2019. However, we are available to report/speak/visit to any of our supporters and possible new supporters during the 5 weeks that we will be in the USA. Looking forward to see you!
