I only have a few minutes
 
Am at a Library using their internet. We are working with a group of spanish people and one has already been baptized.
I guess all know the happenings in Brazil...our son was robbed...our car and the car we just sold. He had gone to the bank to pick up the money...

However this weekend that I know about 23 people in Brazil recieved the Holy Ghost. We are getting ready to baptize another trinity group from yet another city. One of our son's just baptized a Nazerene pastor in Jesus name. No wonder the devil does not like us...

I am thinking of this song...

He giveth more grace as our burdens grow greater,
He sendeth more strength as our labors increase;
To added afflictions He addeth His mercy,
To multiplied trials he multiplies peace.
When we have exhausted our store of endurance,
When our strength has failed ere the day is half done,
When we reach the end of our hoarded resources
Our Father’s full giving is only begun.
His love has no limits, His grace has no measure,
His power no boundary known unto men;
For out of His infinite riches in Jesus
He giveth, and giveth, and giveth again.

Please continue to pray for our family...thanks so much.

Thank you. Yes, they are better. Or getting there. At least Keith didn't have to end up serving more time. They handled it "unofficially" so he has no permanent record. Those are positives. I appreciate your prayers so much!

Ladrões roubam R$ 10 mil de igreja

Dinheiro seria para pagamento de funcionários

Gazetaweb - reportagem de Ednelson Feitosa

Dois homens armados atacaram nesta quinta-feira, Michael Gidion Alvear, 27, num trecho da Avenida Fernandes Lima, no Farol. Ele tinha acabado de realizar o saque de R$ 10 mil da agência Bradesco do bairro, quando um homem entrou no veículo que ele dirigia, um Chrysler, cor marrom, placa DIV 3000/SP.

Michael declarou na Delegacia de Plantão I, que um homem invadiu no carro, assim que ele deixou a agência bancária, e mandou que ficasse quieto e seguisse em frente. Nas imediações do Shopping Cidade, outro assaltante entrou no veículo. A vítima dirigiu até a estrada do Pólo, em Marechal Deodoro, onde foi abandonado.

Os assaltantes fugiram com o automóvel e o dinheiro, que era destinado ao pagamento de funcionários da igreja Assembléia Petencostal, da qual o pai de Michael é pastor.

The translation.....

Thieves steal R$ 10 a thousand of church

Money would be for payment of employees

Gazetaweb - news article of Ednelson Feitosa

Two armed men had attacked in this thursday, Michael Gidion Alvear, 27, in a stretch of the Avenue Fernandes Lima, in the Lighthouse. It had finished to carry through the booty of R$ 10 a thousand of the Bradesco agency of the quarter, when a man entered in the vehicle that it directed, a Chrysler, brown color, plate DIV 3000/SP.

Michael declared in the Police station of Plantão I, that a man invaded in the car, as soon as it left the bank agency, and ordered that he was quiet and he followed in front. In the immediacy of the Shopping City, another assailant entered in the vehicle. The victim directed until the road of the Polar region, in Deodoro Marshal, where she was abandoned.

The assailants had run away with the automobile and the money, who were destined to the payment of employees of the church Petencostal Assembly, from which the father from Michael are shepherd.

May our God restore what the enemy has stolen. HE knows who and where they are
and if HE sees fit, may HE expose these men, in Jesus Name! They had better be sure
their sins WILL find them out, in Jesus Name!
Sounds like someone knew about this money.

Hugs,
