Invest in one life - and it reaches many others!

We received a message we would like to share with you. It is from someone who has taken a bible discipleship study with us (lead by Pr. Wilson). Here we go:

"Peace of Christ, Pr. Wilson! Do you remember me? I took a bible study with you about five months ago. You sent me a wonderful book. My name is Gunnar Chaves, from Imbituba, SC.
I am writing to thank you for all your help. You sent me a Bible Course, a Christian book, some tracts (which have already been given out) and, I'm sure, you have prayed for me.
Dear Pastor, thank you so much. May God bless you greatly in every area of your life and I wish you prosperity for your spiritual and material life.
Today, after a little while, I already am a preacher of the Word of God and I have been doing it with effort and dedication. You are a part of that, and for that, I thank you once more!
Receive a big hug from this friend and brother in Christ,
Gunnar Chaves."

We have been supporting this brother by sending him tracts and Christian books.

Sharing what we see...

It is our privilege to be a tool in God's hands. Here are a couple of things we got to see during the week of evangelism at the beach:

During their evangelism at the beach, in the city of Ipanema, a woman suffered with the loss of her 17-year-old daughter who was depressive and ended up committing suicide. While she shared her story she cried a lot. One of the missionaries shared the love of God with her and the lady accepted Jesus.

During the social work in Pontal do Sul, many people approached the counseling tent searching for help. The activities were held close to an amusement park whose owner let PV get power for their equipment from. The owner asked the missionaries to pray for her. When they went over to the amusement park to pray, she gathered all her staff so that they could hear their testimony and join them in prayer.

To God be all the glory!

MIRACLE

...that is the word chosen by our missionaries for the work week during Carnaval.
The three "tanks" went down to coastal cities of Parana, Brazil, to work with the people who were down there looking for a good time. Three beaches were focused by our teams, and all 3 teams experienced very interesting situations and witnessed many miracles of God. During one of our rallies the rain was pouring so hard, but still people did not walk away and stuck around till the end, and then... so many of them accepted Jesus! More than 100 people accepted Jesus during that week.

Stick around for more details of the amazing things God did during Carnaval in Brazil.
