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.

I am so sorry to hear about the robbery but so happy to hear about the Good Report of people receiving the Holy Ghost and the baptisms.

We continue to pray for you and love you much.

Margies3, thank God for this good news, too!

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.

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,
