October
October 3:
We gave a SKYPE voice and video testimony to Macedonia Baptist
Church in Pennsylvania. It's amazing how the Lord is giving us opportunities to
share with congregations. Can we share our testimony with your congregation,
Sunday class, or Bible study?
October
10: At Plenitude Baptist Church I preached a missions
message, sang, and requested more volunteers for our human needs and ministry
project in Miranda.
October
12: On "Children's Day" we took 52 members of a Sao Luis church to the
quilombo called Miranda. There we held a medical clinic and did diabetes and
high blood pressure tests. We also gave hygiene classes,
distributed clothes and toys to the children, had a time of games, singing
praises to the Lord, and sharing Bible stories.
October
15-25: We were blessed with the presence of Evangelist David Stockwell
and his wife Amy. David and Amy Stockwell, who have proclaimed the
Gospel in several continents, spoke in several high schools in Sao Luis. They
spoke about how drugs, sex, alcohol, and rebellion toward parental authority
have destroyed the lives of many teenagers. They told them how Jesus Christ
changed their lives and how He so desires to forgive and save all who will turn
away from their sins and commit their lives to Him. David and Amy also preached
and sang in three churches, and I translated for two of them.
 
In the quilombo named
Miranda there were 70+ quilombolas who listened to Bible stories and answered
many questions concerning Jesus calming the storm, casting out the legion of
unclean spirits, and raising a little girl from the dead (Mark 4-5). We
discussed how Jesus has authority over nature, unclean spirits, and
death. Twelve individuals raised their hands indicating they had
prayed with us to receive Jesus Christ into their lives as Savior and Lord. A
nearby Baptist pastor will continue our Bible Story gatherings and verify who
has truly committed their lives to the Lord.
October
29-November 8: We hosted Evangelist Scott Nute who ministered in high
schools, quilombos, and churches in five different towns and rural villages of
our state.
Please praise the Lord
for giving us safety over the 900 - 1,000 kilometers we have recently traveled.
Please also praise the Lord that the eyes and hearts of young high school
students and quilombolas were opened to understand that Jesus Christ is "The
Savior Of The World"
