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.

Thank you so much for your faithful support and prayers!

For we are labourers together with God:

Serving Christ in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil
