Hello Friends,

We were blessed to see several individuals come to know Jesus as their Savior and Lord in the past few weeks.  We baptized six in August and will be baptizing 5 or 6 more this coming week.  Oh, how we thank God for pouring out His grace and love.

Our leadership training center is growing steadily each semester.  Presently, I have 26 attending and it is exciting to see how much personal growth is going on in their lives.  We launched three new outreach groups last month with leaders who have been, or are currently, enrolled in the training center.  We are looking forward to seeing how well these groups will develop.  As we observe the progress of these groups, we hope to address any leadership deficiencies and help them make the necessary adjustments.

We are still having problems with a shortage of space in our worship services.  Even though we are considering going to double services on Sunday, we still will not have time to fit in our other meetings.  Please pray with us for the Lord to show us how to deal with this situation wisely.

Our evangelism team, Project Life, spent the month of August in Rio de Janeiro.  Many of you were praying for their safety and success and we want to tell you that God did bless.  There were no mishaps or problems for our team, even though they were in some of the most dangerous neighborhoods in Brazil.  Not only did God provide safety, but He also saw fit to bring many individuals to Christ as their Savior.  The gospel was preached in public schools, parks, and in some local churches.  There were over 30 public professions of faith.

We were contacted by another missionary in Brazil who owns a bus transformed into a motorhome.  His present ministry does not need the motorhome, and would be willing to let us purchase this motorhome at a very reasonable rate so that it would continue to be used to get the gospel to the many cities which have no evangelical witness.  The cost of this bus is approximately $10,000.  The motorhome is self-contained and would be very helpful in getting a gospel team into areas without the added cost of lodging.  If you feel led of the Lord to aid in this purchase, label your offering Project Life Motorhome.

We are thrilled to be God's servants in this part of His vineyard and we thank you for your part in supplying our needs in prayers and support.  May God bless you.

In Christ's love,

Bobby, Charlene, Jessie and Brennen Wacaser
