Dear friends in the homeland:
We did not see it but we got the call last Sunday night after church
from our little 4 year old granddaughter…Grandma, I received the Holy
Ghost tonight! What an awesome feeling it brought back memories of 33
years ago when I watched Raul Jr speaking in tongues for the first time
when he was 4…history was repeating itself!
Sunday night had also been special in our home church in Maceio our
grandson Gabriel (the one that has had 2 heart surgeries played a song
in church on his guitar as he sang unto the Lord…a brand new generation
coming up to serve and worship the Lord in the beauty of His holiness
and his go ye call.
Our son from the jungle is traveling in the state of Rio Grande do Sul
at the request of his kinfolks most he had never met since we raised
him and knew very few of his real kin folks. They are all trinity and
they asked him to come and preach for them and he has been able to
share this great message with them. We feel this is an open door and
they have sent word they want for brother Alvear and I to visit them in
the future…
Brother Arlei passed by and preached for Brother Raul Jr and they both
reported such an awesome service.
We are back in the states we are planning to help our son build one
more church up in the jungle area, finish another church we are
building in the state of Ceara, sponsor a mission trip throughout
Brazil for a group of our preachers to help strengthen the work, reroof
the Maceio church as a storm messed our roof up and we need to buy new
tiles, a major product since the building is huge, and we have a huge
Bible school project we are working on. We also need to send a mission
team to Paraguay and boost the work there.
We thank those that have really helped in the jungle work. This is our
new baby in the Lord. We are so thankful to see how God is moving.
Brazil is a large country, the needs are many yet with each pressing
need God always speaks to His channels to help us.
Brother Alvear and I came to the states on a one way ticket so we have
to raise our return fare.
We have lived a life of faith and not one time has our Lord ever failed.
We are happy to tell you we were able to roof the new church in Bahia,
brother Arlei completed the barrio Branco church, we have remodel
several churches this past year, helped make car payments for several
of our preachers so they could travel and
We are almost completely finished building a brand new church in Minas
Gerais, several new folks have been baptized in that city. The area is
very remote however the light of the gospel is shining brightly there
since our arrival.
We had a brand new group of oneness people join our work this month
they were struggling all alone for some time. We are looking forward to
working with them.
We thank you once again for your help and for keeping us on the mission
field. We are aware that your sacrifice makes the difference in the
work of God. Thank you from the depths of our hearts.
The Raul Alvear family
PS: We are presently in the states headed for California if anyone
would like us to come by please let us know.
