Friends in Christ
Once again, here is
some news mixed with prayer requests.
Make sure you visit
the web link below with several pictures.
CCC 2013 – It was truly a blessing to attend another
retreat for missionaries down in São Paulo. It was my vacation indeed. This
year’s theme was Spiritual Formation and
every morning I had one entire hour of solitude in prayer and reading of
Scripture.
Oh, how rejuvenating!
Adriano’s baptism finally! – After more than two years
attending our services and classes, Adriano finally committed his life to
Christ and sealed this union in baptism. Pray for these souls who are learning
about the Christian walk and that their commitment will be a lifelong one.
Construction – We saved one Tuesday (October 1st)
night to press forward with the new building construction. We had to finish the
floor before one of our couple’s wedding. Our men worked hard until midnight—the
wedding was so beautiful.
We have valiant men in
our church. Pray for more energy for this project.
Alisha Sneed returned to US last week after two years of
daily service to the poor and young girls at our community. She acquired a good
command of Portuguese and understanding of our culture. I think she will be an
excellent missionary anywhere the Lord sends her. Pray, please, for her reentry
process and this next phase of her life.
Yours in Christ,
Bio and Dayse
Nascimento

who alone has immortality, who dwells in
unapproachable light, whom no one has ever seen or can see. To him be honor and
eternal dominion. Amen."
