Dear Brethren and Friends;
We thank and praise the Lord for the wonderful month He has given Alta and me. We, also, thank Paul and Wanda for all the wonderful help they give each day to these two “oldies”. Alta occupies much of her time writing letters of appreciation to those who send offerings and who pray for us.
I am still printing and binding the book, “Meet the Holy Spirit”. I try to complete eight or ten books a week.
Since we are not active on the mission field in Brazil any longer, I want to say we will be eternally grateful for all who have given and prayed for us. Since we still receive our monthly offering from the regular fund of BFM, as long as there are funds available, we would like to encourage you to send your gifts to us to the Regular BFM Fund, as that will be a continuing benefit to us as well as others.
News from Brazil tells us how the works are continuing, growing and being blessed. Personal witnessing is the constant desire of my heart and I ask the Lord each day to open opportunities. It is a real joy to tell the lost about the Savior. Every sinner has to hear the Gospel before they can be saved!
The Lord willing, we plan to attend the Spring BFM Mission Conference at Thompson Road Baptist Church, April 27,28,29. Hope we will see you there.
Please note new E-Mail address below. God bless you. Alta and I thank each of you for your faithful giving and praying.

Missionary Update: John & Alta Hatcher on Furlough from Brazil [December 2014]
Missionaries John and Alta Hatcher have served the Lord in Brazil since 1955, planting over 70 churches that are still in existence.

Dear Brothers and Mission Partners,
Each day as I think of how God has used our family, I thank Him for the Grace and blessings He has poured out on this unworthy person. I thank, you, dear friends for your faithful prayer and financial support through the sixty years God has used us in Brazil.
Also, Alta and I praise God for the wonderful children He given to us. We desired to have eight children, but we had only five. Like the five we have, if starting over, we would want at least eight. We praise our Lord for how He has and is using them and their dear wives and families in the Harvest of Souls.
The Annual Baptist Faith Missions Thanksgiving Conference at New Hope Baptist Church of Dearborn, Michigan was a great one. The messages were excellent, and the love and warmth of the pastor and people were wonderful. Thank you, Brother Adkins and the people of New Hope and others who helped!
On the way north to Dearborn Heights, we visited Emmanuel Baptist Church in Bellbrook, Ohio where Brother Darrel Messer is the pastor. We thank them for their love and generosity.
The work in Brazil is going well. Here we are trying to make more copies of “MEET THE HOLY SPIRIT” in book form and on CDs.
God bless each of you.
We thank you sincerely in the Name of our Lord Jesus.
John and Alta Hatcher
