MISSIONARY LETTER
Glauber and Jéssica, Piauí field.
“And I have made it my aim to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build on another man’s foundation, but as it is written: ‘To whom He was not announced, they shall see; and those who have not heard shall understand.’ ”
Romans 15.20-21.
Grace and Peace!
It is with the purpose of expanding the Kingdom of God that we advance in the regions of the Delta do Parnaíba, not measuring effort, overcoming difficulties and obstacles that appear along the way.
And this effort is rewarded as we see more conversions and baptisms occurring. In April there was the conversion of a lady at Caiçara. She was in deep depression and as she received our visit, with volunteers from São Paulo, she was encouraged by the Word of God, and began to come to the meetings and gave her life to Christ. At the same time, a youth of 31 years of age was baptized, giving an impressive testimony to those present. At Ilha Grande dos Paulinos there was the batism of a lady of 82 years of age, the oldest inhabitant on the island. Glory to God!
The wells perfurated some years ago by EMAF need maintenance. God raised Jadson to do the job free of charge. At the same time, three wells were benefitted: Torto, Morro do Meio and Caiçara. Another blessings was the donation of resources for the fixing of our quadricycle, fundamental for this work, and that had been stopped for two months.
During the next few months we have the challenge of building a base, that will serve for meetings and for implementing the My Little Fish Project on Ilha Grande dos Paulinos. The difficulties are great, because the arrival of material at the place of construction comes, not only by boat, but a 30 minute walk, increasing the cost of the labour, due to freight and storage. Above all, we trust in the Lord, who has called us to this work, knowing that He will supply all the needs and give us the necessary strength to complete this building, for His glory!
We are grateful to all who join us in this ministry, convinced that united we are strong and that our labour in the Lord is not in vain!
Prayer requests:
• For the construction of the base at Ilha Grande dos Paulinos.
• For the acquisition of a new motor for one of our boats that is stopped.
• For more teams of volunteers coming to the field.
Glauber and Jéssica
