Dear prayer
partners in the Kingdom of Heaven,
Here are
some prayer requests we bring to your attention:
Drought – According to authorities the Northeast of
Brazil is go through one of the most severe droughts in the last 40 years.
Sadly, the cause of much suffering to our people is due to poor administration
along the years, viz., corruption and political games.
Tragedy – A dear couple of our church were hit by a
drunken hit-and-run 23 year old man last Saturday, December 8. Our sister died
at the moment and her husband is still in the hospital. She left a two year boy
and their families are suffering a lot with such injustice. Her father fears
that the culprit will go unpunished. Pray for heavenly comfort and [divine]
justice.
Hannah – Our daughter turned 15! Similar to Mexican Quinceañera,
we gave her a party, invited church people and friends, and prayed the Lord
will guide her future.
Training – We finished our studies in the book of First
Corinthians and had a regular number of 22 students. This Tuesday class focused
more on new converts and, Lord willing, the group will continue in 2013
studying The Parables of Jesus. Pray these new converts will firm their faith
in Jesus only and no one else.
Discipleship – Pray for these names: Adriano Gomes, Lucian,
Bill, Hugo and Adriano. These are people I am either mentoring or trying to
bring into Christ.
Charity – We prepared 90 food baskets and handed out
to several people tonight and will do more throughout the week. Pray that more
than just feeding bodies and we may feed hungry souls and bring light into
their hearts.
Shalom to
you all,
Bio and
Dayse Nascimento
