Dear Friends,
We are excited about what God has in store for us in May. It will be a very busy month, and God has opened up many doors to share Jesus. We will have a church team from Georgia with us for 8 days,  and we will help 5 churches, and share Jesus in homes and in 4 schools and other places too. Later in the month we will have a special opportunity in a school to speak to the parents of the students during 3 different parents meetings. At the end of the month we will be sharing Jesus in a school in Praia Grande. We are praying and trusting God to do great things, for His glory. Please pray for the people from Georgia who are coming to help, and for us as we organize the many details to be able to have these outreach events. For example we need to organize 40 interpreters for the week when we have the Georgia team with us. Most importantly, please pray that God will be glorified in all that we do.

Recent Events
Speak at EM Peiruzzi Netto school in Cubatao
EM Peiruzzi Netto
 
We worked with Primeira Igreja Batista Cubatao in this municipal school in the city of Cubatao. The school is for students from 5th to 8th grade. The participation of the church was very good, and we had 4 to 5 people helping us each day. Three members of the church helped as some of our interpreters - Amanda, Joelma, and 12 year old Daniel.
 
Despite a problem we had with one of the teachers trying to stop us from praying, we had a very good outreach event in the school. God worked in a great way in the hearts of many of the students and teachers, and many eagerly listened to the Gospel message. We praise God that 509 students and 4 teachers accepted Christ and committed their lives to Him. One of the members of the church is a teacher at the school, and she started a Bible club awhile back on 2 Saturdays each month. We encouraged the students to participate in this, as it would help them to grow in their new relationship with the Lord and help them in their lives. It is great that the church has this, and it will be a good tool for them to follow up with the many who accepted Christ.
 
Speak to Youth at Igreja Batista Central in Praia Grande 
We have started working with the church this year to help them to share Christ, and in May we will be working with them in a nearby school. We will also be working with the church in a school in October, when we will have a church team from Georgia helping us. We had the opportunity to speak to the Youth Group at their Saturday night meeting, and we shared a message from 2 Corinthians 5:14-20. The main part was about how God has entrusted to us, the church, the message of reconciliation through Christ, and that we have the responsibility to reach out to lost people. At the end we discussed our Quality Of Life project in the schools, and we discussed how they can participate and help us to reach students and teachers for Jesus. 


 Speak at EM Dom Pedro I school in Cubatao
EM Dom Pedro I

We spoke in this municipal school in the Vila Natal part of Cubatao, which is a  poor area of the city. Several people from Primeira Igreja Batista Cubatao helped us, and some members of the church and also Igreja Batista Nova Jerusalem helped as our interpreters. The school is for students in the 1st to 5th grades, and they also have many adult classes at night for people who are trying to finish their grade school and high school education.

We spoke to 14 classes on Monday afternoon, to 14 more on Tuesday night, and to14 more on Wednesday morning. The project went great, and the leaders of the school, the teachers, and the students really liked it very much. We had a great time with the students while we were there. God did a great work in the hearts of many in the school, and we were in awe of what He did on Tuesday night in the classes for adults. Many were profoundly touched by the Holy Spirit, and some of the adult students were very emotional during our message. More than 220 adult students accepted Christ, and overall God touched and saved more than 820 students, and 11 teachers, and also the Vice Principal and the school Coordinator. We serve a Mighty God.
