Dear Friends and Co-laborers,

We greet each of you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. We are thankful for God’s goodness and grace this new month. Praise God the Father for providing unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. He supplies our every need and much more and we are so grateful to our God.

Wanda’s mother, Mrs. Willa Mcgary came to live with us. She is the widow of pastor/missionary Wilford McGary, they were sent as missionaries to Kentucky’s Appalachia in the early 50’s and served there for thirty-five years. Well, on the forth of March Willa had her ninetieth birthday. Wanda planned a nice party and many of our old and new friends and brothers in Christ here in Florida came to rejoice with us. Willa and all who came enjoyed the food and fellowship. We are thankful for Mrs. Willa’s life of service to the Lord; and no doubt, one of her greatest joys and anticipations is the meeting of God’s children in church. We pray for God’s continual blessings on her life.

New mission starting in down town Manaus. Some years back we were able to purchase a vacant lot in the downtown area. Soon after, urban renewal took most of the land in the area – our lot not affected – and moved most of the people to other areas. Because of the uncertainty, we waited to see how the renewal would work out. Often, government projects in Brazil have a way of not getting finished, but this one was completed. The opportunity looks good and God has raised a team with a vision to reach the area. We are awaiting the building permit to get the construction underway. Pray for the permit and building to be finished as soon as possible; pray for the team, as they get started, to always have a heart to reach the lost and that the gospel seed will find fertile soil producing much fruit for the kingdom of heaven.

We pray for you that your remembrance and knowledge of our Lord, the only true God, may abundantly increase in wisdom and discernment, that your trust and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ may be steadfast always, and that the love of his Holy Spirit may fill and overflow in your every word and action, with thanksgiving to God though Jesus Christ our only Lord and Life.
