Dear Loved Ones in Christ,                                                               August 22, 2009

 

    Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ! God is always good, but sometimes He pours out a special blessing.

     I recently called Brazil to check on things and talked to Helenita. She was ecstatic as she shared the good news of her sister Maria Jose accepting Christ as her Saviour.  This may not seem like a lot to you, but let me put everything in perspective. I have been called at least twice to deal with Maria Jose when she was demon possessed. The last time she had a knife and was trying to kill her live-in husband. She has been involved in drinking and carousing as long as we have known her. We had sowed and prayed for her for twelve years. But today she is a child of the King. Not only that, but so is Marcos her new live-in husband. He accepted Christ on Sunday. What a blessing to see this dedicated Christian family’s prayers answered and their last sister accept Christ. Praise God for His mercy and REJOICE with us for we are glad!

     I recently was led by our Lord to eat at a Korean restaurant, which I had never done before. I met Sangho, a transfer student from Korea studying engineering at Oklahoma University . I invited him to eat lunch with me and through our conversation had the chance to talk to him about his salvation. He was very open and listened attentively but claimed to be a Buddhist. One interesting fact surfaced through our talk. His parents are Christians but accepted Christ later in life. He assured me he knows how to be saved but is not ready yet. Please pray with me for his salvation and that his parents may have this motive of joy. I left him a gospel tract and have since mailed him a copy of Josh McDowell’s book More than a Carpenter.

   Our son Campbell was blessed to work at Minnetonka Youth Camp in Clayton , Oklahoma this summer. This was his first job and he showed a great work ethic. He also learned to trust the Lord more through this experience. We thank the Lord for this opportunity, for the growth in Campbell’s life, and for the Lord’s work in his life this summer.

   We are anticipating our return to Brazil and thank the Lord that He has provided the finances for our tickets. We however need to raise some money for a good used vehicle to use this next term. We need to raise $9,000.00. We ask that you would prayerfully consider helping us with this need. We love and appreciate each one of you who faithfully prays and supports us. We pray God will richly bless you. We remain….

 

                                                     Yours in the white fields,
