Furlough presentation

New preaching series at Koinonia

We start a new preaching series at Koinonia called: "Your life, your mission". We are going to be going through II Corinthians. I'm posting the picture I took at a beach near-by that I will use in my power point this Sunday. Makes you want to visit us right? Well, at least pray for us please and that God will give our people more and more of a ministry & missionary mindset.

Easter play results

It will be impossible to measure results, but we can say response was great and people were moved by the production during our four presentations. Dan Cook played the major part of the Apostle John telling about the events from the Gospel story. We calculate that around 650 people were out during those nights. Thanks to all for praying.

One more Easter Play shot

Koinonia's Easter Play going on these days

We appreciate any and all prayers for this event. We have the presentation four nights in a row with the capacity of 220 people a night. Our first night went very well and in a little bit we have our second presentation. This event is a great calling card for those who rarely enter a Gospel preaching church. Pray for ongoing results and God's glory in all.

Transition in the Outback

Koinonia has invested for around 15 years in the city of Ingazeira. There have been lots of ups and downs and there has been fruit for God’s glory through the years.

But we are at crossroads again there. Our missionary Carlos and his wife Dinalda recently resigned as missionaries to the Outback due to their many long periods away from one another and their lack of peace to actually move out there. They have been our third attempt to get a solid congregation going there.

We have been praying for years about targeting a more strategic city by the name of Arcoverde. It looks like God is opening one door by closing another. We are in conversation with some sister churches in Recife about the possibility of taking over the work in Ingazeira. If this does not happen, we may be closing that work. Either way, we ask for your prayers for wisdom and God’s clear guiding.

We are grateful for the years in that town, even with the difficulties we have faced, as we know that God has honored our work there, even when we don’t see some of our plans accomplished. And we see that as what it is: our plans can only work if they are part of His perfect plan.
