This month has been really fasting passing. I don’t know if this just happens when you start approaching the senior years…… or what.
The ministry has kept us really busy this month. A little over a month ago I was privileged to lead a man (55yrs) to the Lord. The reason I was in their home for this visit was the wife frequents our church and requested a visit to pray for and with her husband. Half way through my presentation he accepted the Lord and said I want this (LIFE ETERNAL) more than anything else. It was one of those times you really felt the Holy Spirit working. Then this month he enters the hospital and after two (2) days he goes to be with the Lord.
I was able to do the funeral for the family and we spent around two (2) days with the family comforting them in their loss, and exhibiting our love, “Christianity” to the family. During this time the church ladies and Barbara really did an awesome ministry-caring for the widow and immediate family. Also during the funeral (IN SÃO PAULO CITY) I was able to witness to his extended family approximately one hundred plus (100+) people, tell them about where he was now, and present Jesus Christ to them also. How AWESOME is the God we serve.
In our Sunday School two (2) weeks ago we had five (5) children, 12-15 years old, accept Christ. Our Lord is really working in a special way, opening doors and making it possible to reach many others. Pray for these young people.
It seems as though we have made lots of “sick visits” this month, but regardless of the circumstances for many visits, people are accepting Christ. Just in our home visits this month, with the Holy Spirit working we have had nine (9) people accept Christ. How AWESOME He is, whom we serve.
Our youth this past Friday and Saturday went to São Paulo for a youth rally. There were sixteen (16) in all and they really came back “changed-up” to do even more for the Lord.
As I am writing this letter I am doing hospital visits for another man with cancer. Before he went into the hospital I visited with him and his family. He already knew Christ but wanted me to talk with his family to make sure they also had what he had in his heart.
Our vehicles have really given us a challenge this month. I had the “bicos” cleaned in my diesel S-10 and was also informed they needed to be replaced. The van’s side door needs the rollers replaced and our list goes on. Lots of our repairs are from everyday use, and our roads are always a challenge for our vehicles.
Construction work has been slower than slow. It has been raining almost every day and makes outside work very hard to accomplish.
Because of this in climate weather “raining”, I have had to change our roof tiles between the rain drops. Barbara finally got tired of the buckets and I had to get to work.
Well, as always our doors are open. Why not come down for a visit and see what the Lord is doing in Caraguá Brazil.
IN HIS SERVICE
