Dear Friends,
We are very happy and praising God that we finally were able to get our new permanent visa. Thank you so much for all of your prayers for this. At one point we were thinking that we would have to return to the US, but then God stepped in and took care of it. Someone at a church here knows a man who has worked for the Federal Police for over 20 years, and he was able to help us to get the new visa. The best part is that it is truly a permanent visa (our other one was good for 5 years), and we will never have to go through the renewal process again.
 
We ask that you pray for our son John and his new wife Danielle (Brazilian). Please pray  for God's guidance and wisdom as they seek God's plan and will. We sense that God is calling them to come to Brazil and help us to reach people for Jesus, and we are praying for and seeking God's confirmation in this, especially for John and Danielle. We praise God for the great blessing that Danielle is to John and to our family, and we are looking forward to seeing how He will use them in His work.

 


They preached the gospel in that city and won a large number of disciples... On arriving there, they gathered the church together and reported all that God had done through them and how he had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles.
Acts 14:21,27

Speak at EM 28 de Fevereiro school in Santos
28

 

We have previously worked with a small church that is near this school, but for some inexplicable reason the church decided to not participate in our project. We expected to have only the 2 of us and our interpreters, but we were pleasantly surprised. A great group of young people (2 from the church that decided not to participate and others from their parent church) came to help, and they were a blessing to us and to the school. Two of them attend the school, and we are praying that God will use them, along with a couple of the school leaders that are also Christians, to help & guide the new believers. We spoke nearly 40 times in 4 days at the school, and God prepared many of the hearts to hear the Gospel. We praise God for how He touched and saved over 840 students and 11 teachers, and we give Him all the glory and honor. We are praying that He will continue to produce spiritual fruit in these precious lives.
  

Preach at Igreja Batista Nova Vila Mariana in Sao Vicente

We have worked with Pastor Andre and this church a couple of times last year, and we will be working with them to share Christ in a school in November. Kevin had the opportunity to preach in the church ahead of the project in the school, to encourage and challenge all church members to actively participate in God's mission to seek and save the lost. At the end of the service Kevin preached the Gospel and 8 people accepted Christ and committed their lives to Him. Glory to God ! 


Speak at EE Adelaide school in Praia Grande

 We were supposed to work with a church near this school that we had previously worked with in another school, but no one showed up this time to help us. We had even gone to the church on a Sunday before our project to announce it during the service, but unfortunately the church dropped the ball. The sad thing is that the school is very open to receiving more help for the students and their families, so the church missed a good opportunity to be able to do more with the students & families. The school even invited us to speak and share the message (which they really liked and saw the value of it for entire families) during a special community service day they are having in December. We will bring another church in that area of Praia Grande with us, because there will be some opportunities to talk about the church that day in December. Once again God did great things in the hearts and lives of the students and teachers, and 231 students and 10 teachers and the school coordinator accepted Christ and committed their lives to Him. God is greatly at work.
 
 
Speak at EE Lions Clube Centro school in Praia Grande

We spoke to parents at this school back in May in 3 parents meetings, and we were amazed at how many of the parents and teachers responded to the Holy Spirit's work in their hearts and accepted Christ. This time we spoke in all of the classes to the students. We worked with Igreja Batista Cidade Ocian, and they did a very good job of organizing and bringing people to help us during the morning, afternoon, and night periods. We had a great time at the school, and the students were very receptive to the Gospel message. We praise God for how He touched and saved close to 500 students and 3 teachers. 11 teachers had previously accepted Christ during the parents meetings in May. We pray that God will continue to work in their hearts and lives, and that He will produce great spiritual fruit in them. We also had some opportunities with some of the students to talk about the church and about the English classes they offer as a ministry at the church.
