Dear Friends, We have a "Praise The Lord" report!
After the building of a small church in a quilombo called Engenho Da Pointe, which was largely financed by our Brazilian home church, five men have prayed to receive Christ. For the past two years we've only had 2 men who had committed their lives to the Lord, but now 4 of the men that were helping to build the church and 2 others have publicly received the Lord and are attending church meetings and Bible study regularly.
Beyond this, there have been 15 women and young people who have committed their lives to the Lord in the last two weeks. |

Foundation on the First Day
 Oh! Before our 5 days of construction and 7 days of door to door evangelism, in Engenho Da Pointe, there were 15 church members and 15 others that attended the services. Now there are over 60 attending the three services per week in this village. GLORY!!!
The attendance in this village's house of Voo Doo is beginning to dwindle, and the commitment and ferver in the house of God is growing! |
| Prayer Needed The other church that we have helped to start in a quilombo village is called Cazinhas. It presenty has 14 members and approximately 12 attendees. This November 25 - 30 there will be a group of eight Brazilian volunteers that will do door to door evangelism, Bible storying, music, drama, and other methods of sharing Christ. Please pray for us as we orientate these 6 ladies and 2 men that will be ministering in Cazinhas. Beyond this, on November 29th, 47 members of our Brazilian home church will be working with us to do follow-up evangelism in Engenho Da Pointe. Please pray that this church will continue to rapidly grow through salvations and discipleship. |
| Sincere thanks for your prayers and friendship! Keith & Deborah Jefferson Salvador, Bahia BRAZIL |
