God blessed our campaign work yesterday in the small
neighborhood congregation of Nacional.
We went door to door offering prayer for the residents of the neighborhood and
inviting them to the worship service last night. Six first time visitors
attended the worship service. Continue to pray with us that those who attended
last evening and those who will come in the next few weeks will give their
lives to the Lord. Also, pray for the rest of the campaign as we go to a
different congregation each day through May 22.

Living internationally can be interesting—and at times
stressful. We are required to maintain valid documents of all kinds
(identification cards, passports, social security cards, drivers’ licenses), as
well as making Income Tax declarations and many other things in both the USA
and Brazil. Bryan, Marlinda and I took an overnight bus to Rio de Janeiro after the Bible Study Group at
our house on Thursday, May 3. We had marked an appointment at the American
consulate at 8:30 a.m. on Friday, May 4 to renew Marlinda and Bryan’s American
passports. After finishing the process there we took an afternoon bus back home
and arrived about 9:15 p.m.

Bryan went to the Federal
Police station in Belo Horizonte
two days ago and marked an appointment for 10:00 o’clock this morning to renew
his Brazilian passport. LaJuana, he and I were all required to be there today. We
were able to submit all of the documents and pictures necessary for the process
of his passport renewal. We should receive it within a few days.

Our furlough is scheduled from June 15 to the end of August,
Lord willing. Marlinda, Bryan and I plan to meet up with LaJuana on June 16. We
should then travel together until July 27, when LaJuana returns to Brazil with Bryan in order to register him in the American School of Belo Horizonte on
August 1. Marlinda and I plan to continue our travels until the end of August.
Several hours today and tomorrow will be dedicated to contacting about twenty
supporting churches to schedule our visits with them to report on our work and
life in Brazil.

God bless each of you as you live and serve Him.

In Christ,
