Dear friends and supports in Christ,

here are some of latest news we would like to share with you:

(1) Last weekend a group of ten brothers from São Lourenço traveled into the interior of our state. We had the purpose to visit and encourage two congregations that have been there for more than 15 years. In each church our quartette sang old and news songs, and Mozart and I brought messages encouraging the brotherhood to keep on evangelizing.
   These churches are small and striving to keep their faith in a world of business and temptations. In fact, there are in my count ten churches spread throughout our state. Only four of these churches have buildings of their own and leaders guiding the flock. These four churches are the ones with some steadiness in their faith. Nevertheless, they are all relatively small and in need of encouragement---some more than others of course.
   Since last year we have visited all but one of these churches. It seems the Lord is opening a new ministry. We have plans to visit another church beginning of 2011, Lord willing. Keep this new ministry in your prayers, please.


(2) Children's day at São Lourenço. We had our children's day on the afternoon of Saturday 9 of October. It was a lot of fun. 
I relearned it's rewarding and fun to make kids have fun and see them happy! Check out some of our pictures:


(3) Keep praying for our construction --- We are in our last stage of the first building. We willing to complete it before the end of this year, Lord willing.


(4) Dilma Rousseff is our new president and our first female president. During her campaign there were all sorts of rumors that in her presidency she would compromise deep Christian beliefs such as abortion. A couple weeks ago she made a public statement that she would respect family values and freedom of religious public expression. Please, pray she will be good for the Brazilian people. I fear that people in "absolute" power might corrupt absolutely. 

Please, remember---your prayers on our behalf will always be our most important support.

Pray that my family will keep on following Jesus.
Pray that I will live a wise and holy life for Jesus.
Pray for my mother's old age difficulties.
Pray that the Church of the Lord in São Lourenço will be a light to this broken world.

Shalom to y'all.
