In the last few weeks, I have been spending most of my time calling churches, sending letters and emails, answering the same questions, over and over, from pastors and church secretaries. Don’t I have better things to do? Isn’t anything else going on for the Lord in Portugal? I have to be honest, this is not the most exciting activity that I could be doing right now. Why, then do I do it? And why am I so happy each time I am able to add another meeting to the calendar? (more…)

May ’13 Prayer Letter
Dear Prayer Partners,
The new convert’s class started in Albufeira with 11 people in attendance. We are hoping to get at least two more in this 12 week class. All that attended had a good spirit and committed to read and study their Bibles, prayer, church attendance and personal evangelism. Lenildo and I will be taking turns between the adult SS class and this class. It is obvious that the enemy of our souls is not happy with this Biblical teaching effort. Some of the new believers in this class are struggling with different situations, please pray for them. I was able to talk with two couples that, because of the teaching got under conviction about the fact that they were not married. Please pray as they now pursue the necessary legal arrangements.

March ’13 Prayer Letter
Dear Prayer Partners,
The Lord has been doing some exciting things here in Portugal. Since our last Prayer Letter we have had 9 people pray to receive Jesus as Saviour in the church in Albufeira! We have now more people in discipleship than we’ve ever had before! Thank you for praying for us. A few months ago we were concerned with all the people leaving our city and church because of the economy, but the Lord has been bringing others in. Please pray that we will be faithful in teaching these new converts and for their growth. (more…)
