DEAR PRAYING FRIENDS,
After transferring to
the International Mission Board SBC office in Richmond,
VA, to work as the African American and
Northeast Regional Missional Strategist, I will be
making my first trip
back to Brazil to work with a team from
Houston, TX, July 9 - 16. I will be
working in the newest
Quilombo church plants in the state of Maranhao
with whom we started with American and Brazilian
volunteers and their churches. Lord willing, I will also
be making visits to the Quilombo churches in the state
of Bahia the week prior.
There is a new Quilombo church that is being started in
Cachoeiro, Bahia, through First Missionary Baptist of
Cachoeiro. My Brazilian home church of Salvador, Bahia,
is still assisting in working with Quilombo churches
also. Please keep
these Quilombo churches in your prayers along
with those in the county of Jeremoabo, Bahia.

American Churches Partnering with UUPG's
April 10 - 15,
Deborah and I will be meeting with some church pastors
to find partners that
will commit to at least 5 years in reaching a UUPG
(Unengaged and Unreached People Group). This
means taking the Gospel to people who are not only
unreached like the Quilombolas (less than 2%), but have
not had any missionaries or churches to bring the Good
News of Christ to them.

American churches to
partner in reaching Unreached People

We Value your Prayers!
Although we are not on the foreign mission field
we desperately
need your prayers to support us
in
challenging, encouraging, and training churches
and volunteers to take the gospel to
the 3,800 plus unengaged and unreached people
groups of the world.
In March, Deborah and I were in Nevada, Arizona,
Maryland, Missouri, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. Pray
that the Lord will give us
travel safety.
Pray for me as I have to make a decision whether
or not to make a
vision trip
with American pastors to South Africa
this coming October.
We Need Your Prayers,
Keith & Deborah Jefferson
