Hello friends,
Well we have arrived back home here in Caraguatatuba Brasil. Our three months there in the States were full of travel and meeting old and new friends.It was just AWESOME getting to see everyone and in some cases to make new friends. If we did not get to see you or come to your Church this time please forgive us and we will try to see you next time we are in the States. It has been one of our best trips to the States ever. We made new friends in La. Ga. TX.Va. and our home state Ky. From these we expect to have new groups to visit the ministry here in Caraguatatuba. And along those lines, if we did not give you a personal invitation, I want to do so now. Come on down and see what is going on in God's ministry here in Caraguatatuba. Call and we will be waiting for you.
As we are getting ourselves back into the work and getting caught up on everything we see the great need for the bus. We are actively pursuing the funds to purchase the bus for the Sunday school ministry and the Church. In one neighborhood we are taking 3cars and our van to help carry the children on Sunday morning. This is definitely a prayer request for our ministry here. We were able to raise some of the money necessary while we were home and if you want to be a part of this need just mark your donation bus ministry. We have looked at buses and will be able to buy a good used bus for around $27,000.00 . We know we serve an AWESOME God and He will provide (maybe through you).
We are looking forward to several groups visiting us this year. Some will be ministering in our public schools, others will be evangelizing in neighborhoods and still others will be work groups. Notice I did mention PUBLIC SCHOOLS---pray for us as we enter the public schools here in Caraguatatuba. We have a youth group in Virginia Beach planning to visit in the latter part of June,please pray for them and us as this ministry unfolds and for many young people to see their need for Christ.
We are also getting our construction started back up on our vocational school as it has been on hold for 3 months. We are hoping to get the dormitory finished so that we can get it filled with young men to study in the Second Chance Vocational School.
Just a bit on the light side, while home in the States I became a much bigger person!! I'm not telling just exactly how many pounds I gained(but they were several). Now I am on a program to get smaller.---Why?---So I don't have to purchase new clothes.
Pray with us as we get settled back into our work here and looking for new works to start.
As always the bed is turned down and we will leave the light on, so come on down.
In His service,
Aj and Barbara
