Friday

Pastor Mike finished his Church History sessions today! Praise the Lord for His provision of strength of voice, health and mental strength.  He was able to add a bonus class on the Crusades. Praise too that Pastor Leandro's voice held up as he faithfully translated every word.

The Family Conference kicked off late this afternoon. We are all looking forward to interacting closely with the Church Family over the next couple of days. The Brazilian people are so loving and inviting, making us feel at home! We shared a dinner and worship service.

Tomorrow starts the full conference session with Pastor Mike speaking twice, Josh speaking twice, Kathy and Randy working with the children in the morning, Kathy speaking with the women in the afternoon and Randy speaking with the men. We are praising God that we have the capabilities to present the Love of God this many times to the families attending the Conference.

Prayer requests:

• Health for the entire team. We have been running a lot of hours and it has been tiring, but well worth it!
• God's presence at the Family Conference to move hearts to serve Him
• Pray that the rains slow down as the families are at ABECAR. Many activities are scheduled and rain will introduce some challenges.
