The Lord is Moving in Torres
The young church is caring for several people and families. They are helping a single woman care for her elderly father. He is 81 and has cancer. He recently had a stroke and is bedridden. He was living with his son, but was being abused by him. Fatima took her father in, but has no resources to care for him. Therefore, the church has come alongside her and is providing food and medications. Also, Pr. Artenio is helping her deal with the government bureaucracy to ensure her Dad continues to receive his medicine.
The church is also caring for an elderly widow who has dementia and lives alone. They are visiting her and providing some basic food. They have begun helping a young family who is having medical issues due to complications with pregnancy. The church is providing food and medicine for them as well.
Each of these cases is a testimony to the importance of planting mission minded churches among the poor and needy. When the church is established and people are discipled they begin to care for their community. The church is made up of poor and needy people but in partnership with LBM they are equipped to do the work of the ministry themselves.
Update on New Image and Logo
Our blog and website will be merged into one site which will be much nicer as it will bring all of our content to one web address. However, this means you will need to resubscribe to the blog feed or via email. We will try and send out a reminder before the change takes place but you can check periodically at www.livingbread.org to see when the new site goes live.
Thank you for your patience during this time.
New Logo Unveiled
While our image may be getting a make over, our vision and mission remain the same. With your continued prayers and support we will continue to plant church among the desperately poor.

Transportation Need
Our friends at Temple Baptist Church in Madison Heights, VA have adopted LBM as their annual mission project in April. They have been faithful monthly partners with us since the early days of beginning our work. In April they will be raising support to help us meet a special need in Brazil; the need for transportation.
Our work in southern Brazil has expanded numerically and geographically. We have planted eight churches in the southern region. Our focus initially has been on the metropolitan area of Porto Alegre. However, we have begun expanding outward with two of our most recent church plants between 1 ½ and 2 hours from the city. With this geographic expansion, it has become increasingly difficult for our Brazilian leadership to continue oversight and mentorship of our church planters.
Our partners at Temple are assisting with this by helping us provide a car for our leadership in Brazil. This will help them to better visit each church plant and maintain the mentor relationships with the church planters. It will also provide transportation for the Hubbard family when they are in Brazil, as well as a secondary means of transportation for short term mission teams. As you can see this will be a huge blessing on several levels.
The goal for this project is $18,000 which will cover the cost of the car, as well as the taxes, insurance, permits, etc. Please join us in praying that the Lord would provide these funds. If you would like to join the body of Christ at Temple Baptist to contribute to this need, you may do so below. Thank you for your prayers and consideration.
