Two Things

First, the success of Glory Soccer. We are continuing to help with the soccer ministry that Jon Wright started here two months ago. We consistently have around 40 boys each Saturday come to play soccer and then also come in the evening for a youth group type event. The ministry is finally established and is really beginning to have an impact. Just this last weekend we started a curriculum about who Jesus Christ is and how to give your life to him. Plus some of the teens who have been coming to soccer came to church this last Sunday. It made me so excited to see them there and their desire to learn about who God is. I praise God for leading these teens to us and giving us the abilities to teach them about Christ. Novinho has been doing a great job leading up the program: organizing the soccer part and putting on the youth group activities. Continue to join us in prayer about this ministry. I feel like the harvest is plentiful and ripe in this field. Pray that we may be responsible and hard working harvesters to bring these teens to Christ.

Secondly, Paul and I did not meet our initial goals of support raising when we first came to Brazil. We feel as if God is providing us manna like he did to the Israelites wandering in the desert. He only gives us enough food for one day at a time and no more. Which makes us fully rely on him for our every day's need. Oh how the Lord grows us! We are coming upon a time when we have needs again and do not have the funds to meet them. Specifically we need help for when we will return to the United States. If you would like to support us, there is a new, very easy way to do so. You can go to http://tinyurl.com/28zen9e and give money online. Again, we are so thankful for all your prayers and support; you all mean so much to us!!!
