Dearest Homeland Friends:

Sweetest greetings to all in the precious name of Jesus

This after noon in prayer the Lord brought a passage to my mind that reads like this:
Isa. 55:10 As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, 11 so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. 12 You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.

God is good and victorious…His name above all names… His power reaching into the darkest domains and setting souls free …and just to think we humans are a part of His eternal plan!

I never knew all the mighty things God had in store for northeast Brazil when He sent us up here.

Today I was over at the headquarters church thinking how God has blessed us in so many ways and YOU are a part of his blessing for it were not for our homeland friends this work could not have been done…

We work in a city of around 800 thousand people…and in the past 6 years God has Given us a huge headquarters church, fellowship hall, 4 complete dorms, evangelist quarters, 4 nice paid for daughter churches, 2 buildings we rent and several other areas in our city where we hold house meetings…besides that during this time we built a church in the city of Marinbondo and a church in the city of Sao Miguel. We also gave Brother Ryan a start in the city where he works and as of late have been reaching into three other states…

Sometimes I think I have lately been so focused on the trials I have overlooked so many great things God has done….and maybe it was our tears through the trials that have brought forth such a bountiful harvest.

Thank you for being a part of His Harvest Fields.
