Next tuesday (2nd) we leave on a trip up to an Native Brazilian Tribe called the TERENAS we return on the 7th. They have had tons of contact with civilization. The Express of Salvation will be taking clothing donations along with Bibles fromthe Brazilian Bible Society. A team of 8 and Doctors and Dentist will be going along. Please pray for us as we travel and for our families as they stay behind.

The past two weeks have been filled with work on the bus fixing it up for the next trips, taking driving classes to get my bus drivers liscence and working on the new web page for the Salvation Express. Matheus and Max are back in school and enjoying it. Our next trip is scheduled for the begining of September to an indian tribe 800miles away. We will be taking a group of doctors and dentist from a Brazilian Christian organization to work for 5 days at the tribe.

Latest Mission Trip

The Salvation Express had an awesome trip up to northern Brazil. We took a group of Doctors and Dentists. We also took up over 500 covers for the cold nights, lots of donated clothes and over 2000 Bibles donated by the Brazilian Bible Society and other folks and Churches. All went well and many people were impacted. We had Bible classes for kids with great results. Thanks for your prayers and support in the work here! The short movie has now been translated I hope you enjoy it!

We have moved again! Telma and the boys are doing fine and happy in their new surroundings. We are now living in the town of Ouro Fino (Thin Gold). Our move was one more step into joining a mission organization.

I have been working alongside the Express of Salvation for the past 8 months, a Non-profit christian mission that is 5 years old. They invited me to come and serve as their administrative coordinater and with trip logistics.

As I have mentioned before the Express of Salvation serves by organizing evangelistical trips to poor areas of Brazil and in locations that have been hit by natural disaters, taking food, clothing, medical help and most important of all the message of grace.

The board for this mission has been a big help in the past 4 trips I helped coordinate with the other ministry I was temporarily with. The other big bonus is that I get time off to finish this first year of Bible training I am taking.

I will have more info in my next prayer letter.

The website is being re-done and put into English also, this should be done by the end of August.

The trip up north was great. We were able to reach 2000 kids and teens in the group I lead. We traveled to many little villages out in country. The evangelistical events were held in schools and public courts. It was an intense time but the Lord took care of everything. Thanks for your prayers!!!

Event at schools and impacted participants.

Events held at night with Christian film.

We were surprised at how open the schools were

to let us have events in there school hours!

Countdown for Saturday Trip up North!

Saturday at 3 together with a group I leave on a trip to the same northern state I visited a month ago. Our goal is to reach as many kids and adults as possible with the message of the Gospel. We will be having evangelistic events in the mornings and afternoons for public schools and in the evening for all public. Please pray for protection for all those going and their families staying behind. The teams going add up to a total of 20 people. Pray that the soil will be ready for the good seed. We will also be distributing food and clothing donations with the Red Cross of Brazil. We come back 10 days later.

The trip up to "Big River of the North" state went well. We were able to schedule 12 Evangelistical events. The challenge was that the area is very devout to many Catholic saints. One place we visited had a giant statue of a saint being built of over 173 feet tall! The trip had to be re-scheduled to the 13th to the 23rd of June because of a 10 day state holiday uo there for another catholic saint. We are looking forward to the trip and count on your prayers! We are now preparing for a camp for poor kids the end of this month. God bless you all!!!

Finally made it back. The trip went well and we were able to reach many for Christ and also give the local Churches and Pastors the support they so desperatly need. Our group consisted of 29 workers devided into three evangelizm teams. My team did evangelizm events and also took care of the distribution of donations. We worked from 7:30 am to 1:30 am next day almost every day. It was an intense time but very rewarding! Thanks for all your prayers and support in this whole project. We estimate that around 12000 people were impacted with the Gospel. Many made a desicion for Christ and know we leave the growth for the Holy Spirit to work out. The next trip is scheduled for June.
