March  started off with a busy start!  We were key-note speakers at a 4 day carnival retreat for Família da Fé church (In Brazil it is common for churches to host retreats during the week of carnival). We were scheduled to preach at the morning and evening services during the retreat.  The theme was "Restoring the Family Altar"  It was a powerful event!  The church was transformed as we saw many families restored! At the ends of the services the altars were always full of people giving their lives to Christ.  We estimated 25 new believers and 80 rededications to Christ!

1.   This woman testified that she had a vision during the service of herself standing up front giving a testimony of her healing.  Later in the service when there was prayer for the sick, God healed her right in her seat.  She said that she had Crohn's Disease. She testified that as prayer went forth she felt extreme warmth in her abdomen area and felt a hand moving/ massaging the inside area of her stomach.  Praise God!

2.    This group at the altars was answering the call to take the Gospel to the             Nations. Thank You Lord for the next generation of harvesters!

1 Salvation & 27 Re-Dedications to Christ

This worman came straight to the service from the hospital.  She had a headache, swelling, and pain in her body.  The hospital tests showed no signs of the cause. Jesus knows!  We called her up to the pulpit and prayed for her.  All of her pain left!  She said, "Even though I felt so sick, I didn't want to miss church tonight."  

Thank you God!

Débora spoke on forgiveness to a group of 60 local pastor's wives, women pastors, and women in ministry.  The success of this meeting touched a lot of women.  Women's gatherings in Rio Claro are known for not having a great turnout (sometimes only a few would come). The pastors who put on this breakfast were amazed at how many women attended!  This meeting was different than those of the past and was a great breakthrough! The Holy Spirit is working in this community and is building unity among the churches in preparation for revival.

3 Re-Dedications to Christ

What a privilege we had to minister at the church of Pastor Leandro Luperine! God's Glory was clearly present this night.  We preached a message on "Seeking the Face of God."  Giovanna played the piano as Débora led us in an extended time of worship.  Oh how the Holy Spirit responded this night to the peoples'  hearts!  If this church represents what God is doing in Rio Claro, then a GREAT OUTPOURING of the HOLY SPIRIT is coming to this city.  

12 Salvations  

  This Presbyterian church holds a monthly community forum meeting on different topics to reach out the to community.  We were invited and spoke on "Identity."  The response was amazing, considering about 40 were in attendance.  Of the 12 that came forward to receive Jesus Christ 3 were spiritists.  How amazing is our God!

The Senior Pastor, Wagner, became pastor of the church 3 months ago and has a heart for revival and a Kingdom mentality.  It was refreshing to meet a kindred spirit.  Wagner said he would gather the other 7 local Presbyterian Churches in the city to meet us and hear our plans for reaching Rio Claro for Jesus.  Amen!

  

We ministered at this church last month, but we have included in this issue a VIDEO CLIP of some of the amazing testimonies from this service!  The church broadcasted the service live on the internet.  This is the first service in Brazil that we have video footage from, so we are happy to make it available to you!

OUR VISIT TO BRAZIL 

March 2014

Hi friends,

The month of March began in a very difficult, but wonderful way for me. As a few of you may know, during a retreat I had a serious run in with boiling water and coffee  grounds that ended up as a nasty burn on my chest and stomach. I can't even begin to describe the pain, but God came and met me in my hour of need (literally) and the morning after, even though I woke up with several blisters and the wound looked terrible, I had no pain! It was a miracle to say the least! I had some discomfort and had to be very careful about clothing and hugs (brazilians LOVE to hug), but PRAISE GOD FOR NO PAIN! The retreat was a blast, we saw incredible miracles and made lifelong friends!

 

Life continues to be crazy busy, and seems to be getting busier these days. Being here and ministering as a family has been a beautiful gift for us! God continues to open doors for ministry, for meeting amazing people and showing us favor in incredible ways! He has definitely been stretching me with the invites to "speak" at women's events, but the Holy Spirit always has a Word that many need to hear and I am honored to be asked and humbled to be used. I can do all things... only through Jesus! 

God has also been giving me opportunities to lead a little worship here and there, to work with music, and to speak about worship. That makes my heart so happy! I LOVE WORSHIPPING HIM and LOVE BRINGING PEOPLE INTO HIS PRESENCE THROUGH PRAISE AND WORSHIP! I've also been "borrowing" Gigi's piano and finishing some songs that I had begun writing a long time ago. I'll be visiting a recording studio soon, and hopefully I'll have some songs to post in the near future...

Well, I am happy, scared, proud and a little freaked out to announce that Bella is officially done with High School!!! I am still in shock and cannot believe this girl went through her entire senior year in 5 months! She was so determined and focused, and I feel so blessed to be her mom! She is now going to focus on getting her motor vehicle / motorcycle licenses here in Brazil. That should keep her busy for another 2 months! It is like pulling teeth to get your license here... it takes forever! Gigi and Sophia continue doing the homeschooling program (not enjoying it one single bit), but I am so proud of them for facing these challenges and learning from these experiences. I'll tell you, homeschooling is a challenge, and when your internet is via radio, it is an even bigger one! 

We continue to fill our "funny moments jar" and have Mike and Sophia going "neck in neck" for the count. Sophia has literally "blossomed" into a full time comedian which has been a lifesaver especially in the more trying days that we have here. She keeps us laughing!

Please continue to pray for us! We need your prayer covering and support more than ever! I cannot put into words how important you are to us! 

Love to all of you!

Jesus was present to heal them...

Healing and Christ-Centered Evangelism are partners that bear witness to one another, like a hand in a glove. 

 In scripture we see that everywhere Jesus went his healing virtue was present.  In fact,  healing is a part of the Great Commission and we are expected to pray for the healing of  the sick in Jesus' name.  

PLEASE be in prayer for the Pastor's Conference scheduled for June 7th in Rio Claro, Brazil. 

1.  Unity among churches

2.  Finances for the conference

3.  Revival "fire" to be imparted to the pastors and evangelists

4.  Net working with churches 

Currently, we estimate about 90 churches are to be involved.  We would love to see another 30 participate. 

Sugar Cane is a major export of Brazil. They also make many products from the left over of the crop.

Brazil is a tropical country, but in winter months it gets down to about 30 degrees Fahrenheit.

Brazilians' favorite place to vacation is Orlando, Florida.

Because things are so expensive here, Brazilians take shopping trips to the states (with the air fare it still ends up cheaper).

The people are friendly and so amazing!
