January-March 2010

Greetings from Brazil. The Lord is so good! We praise the Lord for the opportunity that He has given us to serve him and we thank you for the opportunity to serve as your missionaries. You will never know what your prayers mean to us.

Ingrid and the baby continue to do well. All of her check-ups have been normal. We are having a boy and have decided to name him Joshua Samuel. He should arrive around the beginning of June. Please continue to pray that everything would go well. Thankfully, the Lord has provided us with a great doctor.

The ministry in Arcos is going well. We have had visitors at many of the services. Praise the Lord! Weber will be moving to Arcos in April. This should help the church to grow, as he will have more opportunities to meet people there. His job transfer to Arcos was finally approved as well.. Weber and Nita just had their second child, Naomi Joy, on March 27th. Please continue to pray for them.

I was able to baptize two ladies that were saved through the ministry in Formiga. This was a special blessing for me. Pastor Weber baptized three people that were saved through the ministry in Arcos. Please pray that we would see more folks saved and baptized.

The Lord blessed the camp we held in February. We had the largest number of campers that we have ever had. We had great preaching and singing during camp. Many decisions were made. Thank you for praying for us and for the camp.

We were able to hold a Spiritual Warfare Conference at the beginning of March with Pastor Marvin Smith III from Ft. Dodge, IA. There is a great need for teaching on spiritual warfare here in Brazil. The conference was a great help to the pastors who were able to attend. Please pray that the pastors would be able to help their people.
