THE CATO FAMILY
June 2008
Dear fellow laborers, friends and
loved ones,
In one month Sarah and I will be
boarding a plane bound for the U.S.A. To enroll her in Bible
College. When Sarah was a little baby Diane and I dedicated her to
the Lord. It is with mixed feelings that I return to my native
country, sad because I will miss my little red headed girl and yet
joyful because she has grown up to be a beautiful Christian lady.
She believes that God would have her to be a missionary. Of course
Diane and I are hoping that she will be a missionary to Brazil.
God has given us much to do here in
the way of ministry and many out reach opportunities have opened up.
We are now preaching at two nursing homes. Diane and the girls are
still teaching the children once a week with the King's Kids
program. We have two preaching services per week at our church. I am
teaching a Bible course in English at a local English school and
also teaching a seminary course to a couple who are planning on
being in the ministry full time. We also have a gospel tract
ministry, Saturday door to door visitation and soul-winning. (There
is something about going door to door that just takes the pride
right out of you). We also use monthly teens, men and ladies
meetings to reach new people. Please pray for us as our plate gets
more and more full. We plan to come home in 2009 for a short
furlough.

People need the Lord.
