Dear Fellow laborers in Christ,

        We greet you in the name of the Lord of Lords and King of Kings.  We are glad to report to each of you the changes and blessings that we have experienced in the last couple of months.

        We have been able to make contact with many of our supporters.  We are looking forward to reporting to each one of you.  We have visited several churches in Texas and Florida.  We have been blessed with the Mission Conferences that we have been in.  It has been a tremendous blessing to share our burden for the Brazilian people, and to report about the work that God has allowed us to accomplish during our last term in Brazil.  We will soon be visiting churches in the North and Northeast of the United States.  We cannot begin to express our thankfulness for entrusting us with the joy and responsibility of representing our Lord for you in Northeastern Brazil.

BRAZIL       

        The church in Monte Gordo, Brazil is doing very good.  We have spoken to several of our members by phone. God has given wisdom and growth to many of them.  Elielson and Helenita are excited about the way God is working in their lives.  The church just finished their Mission Conference the last of February.  They rejoiced over the 22 visitors during the conference and for several decisions of rededication.  Pray that these visitors will return and that personal contact can be made with each of them.   Joel is one of the most recent converts.   Praise God, he is faithful, growing spiritually, and showing great potential. Please pray he will continue to move forward for Christ.

PRAYER REQUESTS

       Please do keep Elielson and Helenita (the couple in charge of the church),  and the congregation in Monte Gordo in your prayers.  Keep us in your prayers for safety as we travel and that God will use us in the churches we will be in.  Please pray for the need we have to raise additional support.   I have had several tests on my lungs and liver.  Pray for my health.   Helen is a needing a hernia surgery.  Pray God will give us wisdom as to when. 

        We thank the Lord for each of you who pray, give and sacrifice that we may share the good news in Brazil.  Our hearts desire is that God will richly bless each of you.
