Dear friends and supporters:

We hope that your Holiday Seasons was surrounded by family, relatives, friends, and specially God’s peace.

Once again we would like to share with you some highlights in our ministry and family here under the equator line. These highlights are in chronological order.

·         Towards the end of every year we have our Dream’s Day. It’s a time we take to share our visions of how our church should be, in what areas we need to grow. This year we rented a nice place, and after some leisure time we had a round table of sharing our dreams and casting out visions for the future. It was edifying.

·         Paula was the last person in São Lourenço to be baptized and saved in Christ in the year of 2010. Please, pray that Paula and many other young Christians will grow in their faith and that our evangelization won’t lose momentum next year.   In evangelizing we find purpose for our Christian walk.

·         Did you know that our daughter Jasmine loves dancing ballet? Well, last December she participated in a public performance.  We were so proud of her!

·         One of the high moments in the church is our “Natal Dá Vida” (Christmas Gives Life or Christmas of Life). Every year we collect donations and near Christmas day we give one food basket to a homeless person from São Lourenço da Mata. This year we did it a bit different—instead of going out to reach them, we invited them to a special service, handed the food basket, brought them a message from Jesus to their souls, and fed them with a meal at the end. Each year we want to improve this ministry. We realize that feeding their bodies is nothing without giving them a chance to feed their souls and get to know Jesus.

May the presence of God go with you in each of your steps throughout 2011.

Blessings,

Bio & Dayse, Hannah, Yasmin, and Dara NASCIMENTO
