Dear friends and supporters,                                                                                        February 2010  

Thank God the work is going well; we had a new family visit us last night and we have had several saved in the last 30 days.  We are working more with churches of like faith in the area for fellowship and evangelistic purposes.  We plan on handing out about 5,000 + gospel tracts during some parades that will be held here for the Festa da Uva (Grape Festival).  We see God working in many areas and with many people.  The many years of prayer, preaching, teaching, making friends and hard work are beginning to pay off.  Please keep us in your prayers!

Praises:   * Diane has been getting better from her neck problems!  Yea!
               * We have had some new families visiting our church!
               * We had five people make professions of faith in the last 30 days!
               * The new converts are growing and starting to help more in the ministry!

Prayer requests:    *  We recently lost $400.00 from one church which was our largest financial supporter.  They still support us for $100.00  They recently lost their pastor and have been going through financial problems.  We understand and thank God for their faithfulness and keeping us on for support.  We hope and pray that they get a good pastor to lead them.  Please pray for us as we adjust to this loss of financial help, we do not want to have to come back to the states to raise more support.  We would like to stay here at least another three or four years before our next furlough.  We have been blessed so much, we cannot complain. We lost five supporting churches at the beginning of last furlough and picked up five before coming back to Brazil!  We are not worried but could sure use the prayers and support of our brothers and sisters in the states.

* We really, really need a store front or building to rent so that we can hold a larger number of people.  Our living room will only hold about 25 people, we had a high of 27 and I had to preach from the doorway.  Rent is about $500.00 - $800.00 per month.  We would like to find a place that is more accessible and on a main road.  Our house way off the main road hidden in the suburbs.

*We need more gospel tracts!  Thousands and thousands!

God is Good!  All the time!

Thank you so much for your gifts, support and prayers!  We love you all and may God bless you abundantly in 2010
