Jeff Kowatch and his wife Mervil are business owners in Lynchburg, VA.  They have both been to Brazil and are a wonderful blessing to LBM.  I asked Jeff to share some thoughts on our recent trip to Brazil.  His comments are posted below.

I thank the Lord for the opportunity to serve Him on our recent short-term mission trip to Brazil with Living Bead Ministries.  I have never been more certain that I was in the Lord’s will.  To be part of a mission that brings people to saving knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ is an honor I don’t deserve.  I thank the Lord for his Grace, Mercy, and Love.  After seeing first hand the work the Lord is doing in Brazil, I am convinced that the vision of Living Bread Ministries that the Local Church is the best way to reach the Lost is from the Lord.  These three church plants and their Pastors through the Holy Spirit are adding names to the Book of Life.  I went to Brazil in 2007 and it is a joy to see how the Lord is transforming the lives of these church members since my last visit.  I am reminded of Luke 10:2 “ Pray the Lord of the harvest to send out Laborers into  His harvest field”.  Please pray for the new converts in Brazil.  Please pray for the Church plants in Brazil.  Please pray for Living Bread Ministries.  Please prayerfully consider supporting Living Bread Ministries financially.
