Countdown to move...


Well, we are getting ready to get onto another move witch we hope will be the last one for the next 5 years.
The Lord opened some awesome doors for us in the little town of Virgem da Lapa some 1000kms up north.
As we have told you before we will be working in evangelism through doors opened by two different child assistence assosiations linked to Christian Childrens Fund.
I will be filling a slot that could be easily classified as that of a Chaplain for these two associations.
The great thing about this is that we will have access to about 10000 folks who live in distant rural villages that have from 10 to 40 families living in them. These are located from 10 to 60 kms from these two towns via dirt roads. They recieve hardily any visits from folks other than these Social workers we will be working along side.
We were able to rent a very good house on my last day in the town before returning form our last trip.
Our plan is to move around the 20th of November. Please pray for all the work involved in this and in all the adjusting we will have to go through.

Great Trip!

The trip up to Jequitinhonha Valley was a great one. We visited 8 villages, each one with 20 to 40 families living in them. We had evangelistic theatrical presentations and the Gospel was presented in a very dynamic way.
Bibles and other evangelistic materials were also given out and kids and adults were glad to recieve them in these distant locations.
The first rains in five months came two days before we arrived so folks were very happy.
Thanks for all your prayers!
