Remembering...

50 years ago the Smiths got to Brazil. 30 years ago was my ordination. Lots to praise God for!

Triunfo Group turns meeting place back over

The missionaries in Triunfo have taken a difficult but important decision to turn over their meeting place for now. A dear family had been paying the rent to enable them to meet there for some time, but were not able to continue. We are all in peace about this as the group is moving back to the houses for their meetings. We believe all will come in God's timing. It was a little hard for Chico as the local missionary pastor not to feel that this is a step back, but he is doing okay realizing that ministry is all about people and buildings are useful tools. Pictured here is our team out there: Chico and Dalva and our new missionaries Jorge and Josy.

Sparkmans visit Outback

We had the visit of Pastor Lynn Sparkman and his wife Alma for a week. They spoke at our fundraiser evening at Koinonia giving their testimonies and tips on marriage. Pastor Lynn also preached on Sunday evening for us. Then on Monday we took them to the Outback to visit the three couples that minister there in two cities. The High Plains Baptist Church where Sparkmans ministered for many years sent funds for food baskets for some needy families. It was great to have them present to personally distribute some of these food baskets and meet some families in Ingazeira and in one rural community.
