Prayer Letter/Ministry Update

We all like to think of November as a month full of Thanksgiving, not just on turkey day, but throughout the whole month. Really though, shouldn’t we be thankful at all times?? But, we are so thankful for this past year. Last year at this time, we had just moved to Lagoa Santa and knew very few people. God has worked incredibly and we have a solid group of people ready to go forward to win this city for Christ.

Thank you for your prayers. As Diane returned a week ago, we were saying how much the church has grown since she was gone. As she tells it, so many churches where she was visiting took time to pray for this work and we realize that God has been answering their prayers. Praise the Lord!
Do you remember that we asked for prayer for the showing of the movie “Fireproof”? We showed it in the theater and our couples invited friends, family and colleagues to come and watch. We had a total of 60 new couples come and watch! Isn’t that incredible? We also had 2 other couples that weren’t able to come to the theater because of work or children. Guess what they did? They invited their friends over, rented the DVD and watched it together. Both of these couples are not believers. They shared how the story impacted their and their friends lives. Incredible!

We are still doing the Basic Truths course and we have several candidates for baptism. We plan to have a baptism service on the 22nd of this month and the enemy is already showing signs of working against their decisions to do so. Would you pray for these people? This is a big step and involves a real commitment to Christ.
We have a new couple, Janio and Erica that are solid Christians and recently have moved back to Lagoa Santa. They have many contacts and minister to couples to here in Lagoa Santa. They belong to a church in the nearby large city, but need a place to worship and minister here. They told us their church has been praying for 5 years for God to send a church to Lagoa Santa so that couples can be ministered to! He was crying as he told his couple’s Bible study that God has answered their prayers and they can now invite people to our church, because we are a solid Bible based church. We were humbled and amazed that God has been planning the arrival of this church for at least 5 years! Pray for us as we grow together with this couple. They are already leaders with University of the Family and able to help us tremendously in the building of God’s church here in Lagoa Santa.

We see God working in so many different ways, and we need to continue to be sensitive to where He is working and ready to respond to His leading. Remember the prayer we shared with many of you, “Lord I know you’re at work in the world today! Please show me where, and can I join you?” IT’S WORKING! We are absolutely convinced God loves to hear that prayer from each of us!

We are all co-laborers in this church plant. We continue to covet your prayers, support and love as we work together to further God’s Kingdom here in Brazil.
