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.
