And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature.”
Mk 16.15
Grace and Peace!
We are well, thanks to God, and very happy about what He has done in our lives here in the village of Caiçara! In June we completed a year since we arrived here, with the objective of teaching the brothers to keep the commandments of the Lord and serve Him with all their heart.
We rejoice because the work has been rewarded as we see lives transformed by the power of the Gospel. Since our arrival there have been 5 decisions and 4 baptisms.
Lourenço Filho (31 years old), baptized this month, impressed us as he shared his conviction of faith when he was being baptized. Another fact that touched us was the conversion of Clemilda, who was in deep depression, would not leave the house and lived locked in a room. After we visited her, she began to go to church and made her decision for Christ. Her family has witnessed her transformation and dedication to God.
Here the need is great and to lessen the difficulty a little, we seek to implement projects of sustainability to complement the family income. One of them is a weekly Art meeting with eight women, to weave rugs, and crochet. At each meeting the Word of God is ministered and prayer is made in favour of the Community and the families.
We are thankful for the support and prayers. May God bless each on of you with every kind of spiritual blessing.
Prayer requests:
- Growth of the church at Caiçara.
- Strategies to reach the youth of the community.
- Strengthening of the new members.
Regis and Marta
