Dear Friends,

We have had some wonderful experiences in our 20 years of ministry here in southern Brazil, but we have to admit that God just continues to bless and amaze us.  We can't praise Him enough!  This past month we had the joy of 3 men asking to be trained for Christian service.  This is certainly an answer to our prayers and to that of those who have been praying with us.  Our vision of establishing churches in the hundreds of cities in our region that are without a single New Testament church is closer to being accomplished.  We have plenty of work ahead of us, but we see the Lord at work and this encourages us tremendously for the task.

The leadership training program is developing better than I could have imagined.  My Brazilian partners are a blessing to me in my own walk with the Lord and as great role models for our trainees.  Anderson, and his wife Janayna, have recently joined us to aid in the Bible and missions courses.  They were well prepared for these roles under the ministry of Brother David and Sister Pennie Hatcher in Manaus, in northern Brazil.  We trust that God will use them greatly in the leadership training program here to reach this region with the gospel and to plant many new churches.

The Project Life pioneer evangelism team is getting set to get back out on the highways this month.  During the month of January, school is not in session and that is their main venue for public gospel presentations.  We took advantage of the school break to do some necessary repairs and maintenance on the bus/motor home.  It is almost ready to roll again and we are looking forward to a fruitful year of conversions to Christ.

Charlene has been meeting monthly with a group of unbelieving ladies to be salt and light among them.  These meetings have generated considerable interest among some and two of them have gone with their husbands to a special presentation at our church.  The door is still open and we pray and trust that God will use Charlene's testimony and personal witness to bring these ladies, and perhaps their husbands and families, to know Christ intimately.

We thank you for your loving support and your faithful prayers for us.  May God richly bless you.

In Christ's love,

Bobby, Charlene, Jessie and Brennen Wacaser
