Dear Mission Supporter,
Patricia and I were invited to be the guest Of Igreja Evangelica Luterana do Brasil (IELB) at their national convention. Several hundred gathered in Foz do Iguacu to consider the future of the Church's ministry. It was a blessed five days as we rejoiced in the Lord and encouraged one another in the Spirit.
 Front Row at the National Convention Brazil Mission Society was given special recognition by the Communications/Publishing ministry of the church. Dr. Thompson was presented two new publications that had been translated from English to Portuguese.
