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.

Re: Sis. Alvear's Official Picture Thread

ALL ON THE ALTAR

All on the altar
Let nothing remain
Outside of the boundary
Of Christ’s crimson stain

All on the altar
“YAHWEH will provide”
On top of the wood
In the fire I will hide

Bind me and place me
On top of the wood
Let me be consumed
As a sacrifice should

“YAHWEH giveth
And taketh away”
Whatever You keep, Lord,
In Your hands will stay

Whatever You give back
Will still be all Yours
A sacrifice living
Your eagle now soars

In praise and devotion
Surrendered to You
A body presented
The least I can do

“Not my will
But Thy will be done”
My life is lost
In the life of the Son

For it is with Christ
I am crucified
It is for me
That He gladly died

A cross fitly carried
Each day it comes due
Following Jesus
Denial of you

Now, for the joy
That is set before you
Endure the cross
And to Him be true

Despise the shame
And die every day
All on the altar
Next to Him lay

And, though, now alive
You find yourself dead
You’ll find that it’s Christ
Who is living instead

Philip C. Morris, Jr.
Senior Pastor
Parkway Church of God
Sevierville, TN


I recieved this poem in the mail and thought it very touching.

Sister Alvaer,
It was such a blessing to have you in Fresno at Life Tabernacle. I told Sister Johnson I was going to be called to Brazil to take care of some babies since mine is 23. Blessing to you. Sister Ellingsworth

Dearest friends

What a blessing it was to visit California on deputation. Even though I was raised in Arkansas I was born in California and sweet Elder and Sister Hyler rented us a room in the town where I was born…wow…that was almost 60 years ago…My how short life is. Of my almost 60 years almost 42 have been spent on the mission field!
I can think of no other higher privilege than the privilege God blessed me with by calling me to be a missionary. I live to be a missionary! I have never lost the wonder or the burden.
Even though we are on deputation we have talked to several of our people and our children to find out that God is blessing in an awesome way in Brazil.
This month we are facing a trial and we believe it will turn out to be a great victory. Our grandson Gabriel needs urgent medical attention. This means we will have to bring him to the Saint Francis hospital in Peoria, Illinois. Of course this requires funds. Gabriel did write out a cute little memo to me that he wanted for a monthly letter! I fixed it for him and am sending it out and included his picture on it. You will receive it if you are on our monthly mail out. We need urgently around 2000 dollars to bring him over because we have to buy what is called an open ticket for we do not know how long he will have to stay. His check up in Brazil the doctors are worried and 3 different doctors thought we need to bring him to have the doctors here to run tests. Many of you know he is nine and has had two heart surgeries. We do not have the type care he needs in our hospitals in Brazil to take care of his problem so our only hope is to ask you to help us bring him here to the states. If you can help us in any way please earmark your offering for Gabriel and I will be sharing with him those that will make it possible for him to come to the states. He is such a kind child and full of the Holy Ghost. He is so sensitive to God at his young age he reminds us much of Raul jr when he was little.
Since his medical work will be done in Illinois if anyone would like for us to come and visit in that driving distance we will be glad to do it. Please contact us at…337 290 2658 or e mail us at Janalvear@aol.com.
I know God has given us friends and we are counting on your prayers during this difficult time.
I read this the other day and found it interesting and thought I would share it with you.
Did You Know?
*A World Bank study several years ago found that Brazil had the world’s highest concentration of wealth, with the richest 10% of the citizenry enjoying 50.6% of the nation’s income.
*About two- thirds of all Brazilians have been classified as poor. Of the families that make up this majority, 71% lack running water, 79% have no refrigerator, and 85% live without sewage disposal.
*Five percent of the population owns 80% of the land.

As I read that I cried thinking of many of our precious people in the interior parts of Brazil that live in dire poverty but because of your giving to missions they have found great wealth in Christ Jesus and promise of eternity with Him. Thank you for giving to missions for without your help we could not carry on.

In His Happy Service
Brother and Sister Raul Alvear and family
