Dear Friends,

Working and waiting is a good way to describe this month.  Mission teams are ready and sharing the gospel as we wait for buildings to be readied for meeting.  We are working on two buildings and hope to complete them next week.  One is at Zumbi do Palmares 2 and the second at Japiimlandia.  These buildings are getting the final touches, as stage, chairs, and sound system are being installed.

We are scheduled to start ten missions as follows:

July 10th            Nova Jerusalem and Japiimlandia
July 17th            Zumbi dos Palmares and Santa Etelvina
July 24th            Riacho Doce and Centre
July 31st            Coroado 3 and Francisca Mendes
August 7th         Bairro Novo and Cidade Nova Nucleo 5

We are using tents in some of the locations in order to keep down the cost and get the teams in the field.  Each location will need a building soon.  Part of the team is sewing tents at night between visitation and follow-up.  We are sure God will provide the means to get all these places under roof.  God raised the reapers; we are equally dependent on Him for the buildings.

The mission at Coroado 2 is having two Saturday night evangelistic services, at 7 pm and at 8:45 pm.  The Lord is moving and souls are being saved.  Their building is filled to capacity for the first service and two-thirds in the second service.

This weekend we are having a seminar to prepare additional teams to start new churches.  We have 60 enrolled for this three-day "camp-in."  Pray for these church plants.  Pray for God's continued encouragement and protection for His children.

We thank you for your prayer and support.
