Returning to the US
August 12, 2009
It has been an exciting few weeks. We have been very busy here in Brazil. It has been a wonderful trip but we are looking forward to getting home. The Lord is blessing the work of LBM in Brazil and we are so grateful.
The church plants are doing well. The Lord is drawing people to Himself and growing these churches by conversion. The two new works are doing very well and we are thankful for the fruit we have already seen. These churches are ministering to needs and by the power of the Gospel individuals and families are being transformed. We know that the Lord will continue to transform each of these communities.
Above is a video of one of the seven baptisms in Vila Nova last Sunday. Wagner is 19 and he is the first believer in his family. He used to be a drug runner for a local dealer. Now he is serving Jesus! We are praying that as we return to the US the Lord will open doors for us to share what He is doing through LBM. We want to tell Wagner's story and the stories of others who are being changed by the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We are willing to go wherever and share about the wonderful work the Lord is doing. If your church or small group would like to learn more about LBM and what is going on among the desperately poor in southern Brazil please let me know.
We will leave tomorrow and arrive home on Friday afternoon. Please pray for a safe and uneventful trip. Thank you and God bless.
