It’s hard to believe it’s nearly Thanksgiving! It has been a busy time here on furlough. I’ve had the opportunity to report in over 24 churches with a full schedule through the end of this month. In the very first church that we stopped at we had the opportunity to go soulwinning on Saturday with […]

June was a whirlwind month! There’s so much going on and happening here in July – I’ll do my best to keep it still to one page. We rescheduled our couple’s banquet due to Pastor Jonathan being ill last month. The banquet is now scheduled for the 20th of July. We have over 20 couples

It’s hard to believe that a new month has come. We praise the Lord for your continued prayer and financial sacrifice to continue the work here in Pindamonhangaba.

For long I too was stuck in the paralysis of fear. Not knowing how one, or some, would respond to writing. But hey, who cares? Unfortunately in today’s world, we’ve relegated our opinions and thoughts to short (or not-so-short) tweets, posts, videos, and Tik-Toks. This is immensely damaging for a plethora of reasons.
