Thanks to all of you who prayed and gave financially for the Brasil mission trip. God did great things through our team and through the churches in the state of Espirito Santo. I'm not big on numbers, but I need to share one number with you to help you continue to pray.
I estimate that about 500 people prayed prayers of salvation with members of our team this past two weeks in the five towns where we ministered. The church members laid a solid foundation of prayer and relationship with all these contacts, making our work seem very easy at times. It was a joy and a pleasure.
Pray for these believers as they undertake the work of loving and discipling so many new believers. I know they were very encouraged by the results and by our presence, but as I encouraged them in our final outdoor meeting on Saturday night, the work is just beginning. Pray that they will do the work of the ministry in the power of the Spirit so that it energizes and refreshes them.
Pray especially for the pastors of the five churches. Many victories have been won, but the enemy has attacked in many obvious ways since the work began. Satan is defeated. Pray that these pastors, their families and church members will walk in Jesus' victory.
