Prayer Request

This week is an important week to be praying as we are starting to intensify our training of church leaders in our church in Campinas. Our full time student volunteers Anderson, Daniel, and Diego have been sleeping over at our church in Gleba B since Sunday and will remain there until Thursday. They are focused on visiting our church members, identifying those who have a potential to be leaders, and training those who already have expressed interest in leadership. They also are visiting many others in the neighborhood, evangelizing, and updating information on children who are involved in the Embrace-a-Child program. Last night they held a meeting with the adult members of our church to explain the vision for leadership and tonight and tomorrow night there will be more meetings. They've asked for prayer that more of the older teenagers woud show an interest and show up for training. They've also asked for prayer for Adriel, Jennifer, and Paulo who were evangelized yesterday and showed a very strong interest. These three have very "difficult lives" and need specific prayer.

We ask for prayer for our guys as it is very hot where they are and the living conditions are pretty rustic. They were pleasantly surprised last night though when someone showed up with a pizza for them! Suffering......!

We know that the Lord will bless their time there and we continue to pray for the growth of this church and it's members. We thank you for your prayers!!
