Dear Co-Laborers in Christ,

All is well with Judy and myself and the Lord is blessing the churches with souls saved, converts baptized and members added to the rolls. The Lord is good, ALL THE TIME!

The Bible Baptist Church in Bebedouro now has a full-time pastor and the work is going well. Pastor Luciano and this church have started a new work in the town of Pitangueiras, located about 15 miles east of Bebedouro. The average attendance of this new work is 25. Pray for this new work and the workers.

The Bible Baptist Church in Barretos has called an associate pastor, Alexandre. He will be working with me in preparation to become the pastor of this church in the near future. He is also working and studying full time in the Bible Institute. Alexandre and his wife, Ana Paula, were both saved in this church when they were in their teens. Praise the Lord. They have a two month old son, Miguel. The Lord has already used Alexandre and Ana Paula in a great way. Pray for this young family and their ministry.

Judy and I have decided to move back to Barretos in order to better minister to our three churches there. We'll be working full time with the Bible Baptist Church and assisting the Central Baptist Church and Ebenezer Baptist Church. The small house we have purchased in Barretos needs to be remodeled and have a bedroom added to it. If you would like to help with this expense please send me an email, lannygwood@hotmail.com or send your offering to the mission office.

Judy and I greatly appreciate your prayer and financial support. Thank you for your faithfulness to the Lord and His work. We are blessed to be your representatives in Brazil. Thank you for partnering with us in this great endeavor. As you share in the work, so will you share in the rewards. May our Lord richly bless each of you.

In Christ Jesus,

Lanny and Judy Wood
