Only our Lord could promise thousands of years ago that He would send a Savior, a Man Child who would destroy Satan and his power over our sinful race. Only the Lord could send a Savior two thousand years ago who destroyed Satan there in the land of Israel at Mount Calvary. Only the Lord could keep believers announcing for two thousand years to the world that the Savior came and is desirous of giving each one life eternal. Only the Lord has that much love!
We thank you for allowing the Lord to interest you in this ministry of translation on behalf of the Portuguese speaking missionaries. We have so few years to be privileged with this responsibility. Part of the task is to pray for one another. We need our Lord’s help each day. Prayer is powerful because the Lord is.
Last month we all called on Him to use the Extreme Camp in Peniel Bible Institute to raise up laborers for the fields. Over 160 students from all over Brazil came. The Lord used the story of the unreached Zóe people group to raise up 25 new laborers. Most of these are young High School graduates who will most likely begin their 4 to 5 year missionary training within a few years.
How is the translation team doing? 
In November Paulo and Patrícia Tezzei joined our team. Patricia translated 6 lessons, but now they are headed to the Yanomami tribal work which they have given their lives to. Fábio and Simone Marzarotto have been invited to work in their local church since the pastor has gone to work in Africa. Simone desires to keep helping our team from their new home in Santa Catarina.Thiago and Letícia Ishy are getting ready to do their last course of missionary training and linguistics and will be travelling in January, out where we taught for 9 years. He wants to format a good group of lessons of Volume 2 before they leave. He hopes to continue while out there. Pércio and Tânia Coutinho are being asked to move up to the mission’s main office in Anópolis. He is being asked to participate in leadership of New Tribes of Brazil. Robson and Emilia Abreu continue doing Rep work. Emilia is still helping by translating. Rejaneide Monteiro is still on the team. Gwen and I are mainly watching the Lord bring folks our way so as to keep this task going.Thank you so much for your fellowship. Volume 2 is composed of 70 evangelistic lessons from Genesis to the Ascension of our Savior. We have reached lesson 22. Only 14 volumes after this one!
We are grateful for your kind participation. The Lord loves to burden our hearts and then use us to be a part of a team of His children, active in sharing the Good News.
