The angels rejoice in heaven over our five neighbourhood friends who eagerly accepted the invitation to have their names written in the Lamb’s Book of Life! It is such a joy to see the excitement of Jair, Liliani, Carlos, Katiana, and Luzinete, as they learn from the Scriptures when we meet weekly for coffee and Bible study. Please keep them in your prayers, that they would solidify their faith in Christ.
Our precious ballet “princesses” were challenged to have a balanced life in Christ this past month by reading the Bible, praying, and fellowshipping. The next lesson will be about sharing their faith with others. Continue to pray for their growth as believers. A few of their mothers accepted Christ with Roxanne on July 17th when she gave them a clear Gospel presentation. May the Lord increase their desire for Him above all else. We are thankful that the Lord is increasing the team members both in the ballet program and on the worship team. May He lead these participants into a deeper walk with Him as a result of their participation in the leadership.
Robert and Jiliani (she’s the school director and pastor’s wife) have been visiting local businesses to encourage the owners to contribute to the church’s food basket program for the needy families of the community. Several have accepted the challenge. They will continue to visit business owners until they have sufficient for 80 families.
We have also been visiting pastors and their wives to cast the vision of a pastors’ association. We have so enjoyed meeting these servants of God, but realize it is a challenge to bring them together, something they are not accustomed to doing. Pray that they will see the need to pray together and encourage one another, that their unity will cause the city of Vera Cruz to be impacted for the Kingdom.
Teaching Robert’s Friday night online course on Genesis in Spanish brings great joy to us and to the students. Roxanne also had the chance to teach at a local woman’s Bible study, both in Vera Cruz and in Caruaru, where Robert preached again. Two of the women from the Vera Cruz study approached Roxanne later to tell her that the Lord had really spoken to them through her Bible teaching.
Please pray for each of these groups of people that God has put in our paths, that they would be built up in the faith. We appreciate your prayers for us as we continue to share the Word of God among the Brazilian people. If you would like to contribute financially to this ministry, please message us. Thank you!
In His grateful service,
Robert and Roxanne
