Dear Friends,

I'm glad they didn't have any video games at our recent youth camp. Instead there was a foosball table and ping-pong; you know, "old school" stuff, since I'm pretty old school. I was able to hold my own among the youth. I mentioned in my letter last month that our co-pastor and youth leader were called to a new ministry and that left me taking up the slack. So, youth camp last month was a part of that. It went great with God's blessings. There were three professions of faith and subsequent baptisms. Charlene and I enjoy the time we get to spend with the youth. Their energy is contagious and we are looking forward to seeing them grow spiritually as the group grows numerically.

Our evangelistic outreach team, Project Life, had the privilege of being in three Brazilian states in one month. We began in the southernmost state of Brazil, Rio Grande do Sul. God blessed the outreach there, though we did not get the opportunity to be in the public schools due to a holiday recess. The team presented the Gospel in public parks by offering the community services of free haircuts, health checks, and family counseling, along with dramatic gospel skits and sharing testimonies. There were well over fifty public professions of faith in Jesus. The city that we were witnessing to hosts the largest Buddhist temple in South America. The Dalai Lama was recently there and the city's mayor gave him the symbolic key to the city. It was our aim to offer these folks the true key to life: God's Son, Jesus Christ. We are assisting a Baptist church recently planted there to continue to reach these needy people.

After leaving the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Project Life traveled on to an interior town of the state of Sao Paulo. In that town the team was able to present the Gospel in three public schools to over 1,000 students. In Brazil there is a relatively large number of adults who study at night classes and it was to these classes that our team had the most opportunity to share Christ. While still in this town, but on the weekend, the team gave a public presentation in a city park. It began to rain quite hard during the presentation, but the residents of the town opened their umbrellas and remained standing in the rain until the end while the group did gospel skits and shared testimonies. When an invitation to accept Christ as Lord and Savior was given, eighty-five persons responded publicly. What a mighty God we serve! The team got soaked to the skin, but they were happy that God saw fit to use them to bring so many to salvation.

The group concluded its work for the month in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. In the capital city they were able to give seven presentations of the gospel in public schools. A large number of youth were visibly moved by the gospel. We believe that many of these young people have truly committed their lives to Christ and pray that we'll be able to plant new churches there in the not-too-distant future to help them mature in their walk of faith.

The transformation work on the second motor home, Logos, has been slowed recently by a shortage of funds. Work has not completely stopped and we are thankful for a few generous donations who have felt led to give toward this ministry. We still need a little over $10,000 to finish the project that will double our evangelistic outreach of approximately 100,000 persons per year. If you are considering where to invest for tremendous spiritual benefits, let me suggest that you give to Project Life. God has blessed through this ministry and we strongly believe that He will do even greater things through those of you who are willing to give.

Yours in Christ's love,

Bobby, Charlene, Jessie, and Brennen Wacaser
