Sweetheart Banquet at Koinonia

This weekend we had a special emphasis on the Christian home that started out with our sweetheart banquet on Saturday. Then on Sunday our special speakers Salomão and Cíntia ministered to our couples during S.S. and in the church service. It was a great weekend in every way.

Fireproof in the Outback

It is an interesting world... Recently Carlos was able to show the film "Fireproof" to couples in Ingazeira. It is neat that these tools are coming out pretty fast in various languages. It makes for a good option for an evangelistic event.

Missions Conference

We recently had our annual missions conference at Koinonia. We had ABWE missionary Jerry Neuman as our speaker. We also had national missionary Carlos Heron who gave his testimony and presented the work God has called him too in the Gambia. The neat thing about it is that he is a dentist and will be working in partnership with ABWE in the clinic there. Carlos was a blessing to our folks with his willingness to give up a successful practice here in Brazil to make a difference in missions. May his tribe increase! Please pray for this family as they prepare to go.

Conference in Outback

We had a good conference in the Outback city of Serra Talhada. There were more than 60 pastors missionaries and leaders. It was a good time for Marcy and I to be with our missionaries at an event together. The music had a genuine outback flavor. We hope to have more of these events. Each one was encouraged and challenged to live and minister with integrity.
