BLESSING...

We had a s inging t ime, with old hymns,  e

Vania and Adriano. They also brought som(

music.

One of the songs was about Naaman washini

in the r iver seven times. . . Vania

mpa red t he washing in the river to the

hing away of ou r sins.

Not only seven times as Naaman was told to

but that during a single day, we should dipand wash ou r sins by asking God to

We sin all the time, in doing something,

ying something, or even just thinking, and

met imes we don t even know that is wrong,

t s why we have to ask God to  examine ou r

and show us.

So each t ime this happens w e should dip

in th e cleansing waters asking Jesus for

of ou r sins.

And Praise the Lord. He will forgive

Finding a place to Call Home

 F or our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers .... Against t

spiritual forces of evil in th e heavenly realms. Ephesians 10:12

Old hous e

We received some hard lessons through our

move. Feeling the urgency to move because

the place where we lived was literally falling

down, the structure is old, and it was bui lt with

cheap material and an underground swamp is

flowing right under the house.

In De cembe r 2 01 2 t he owner ha d said that

if we wanted to move it was alright with him.

But once we found another place to live and

notified him that we wou ld be moving in 30

days, he then said that for us to move we

would need to pay the fine of 20 over the full

amount yet owed on the contract.

Well, aft er much convers at ion he finally

agreed to just cha rge a fine of one more rent.

Two we ek s a ft er we left th e house t he conc re t e

slab o f th e roof on on e si<le o f t he h ou se fell

down because of the heavy rains.

We praise the Lord we were no longer in

th e house.

Neir Ilnusc

The move has been extremely expensi

there were problems beyond our capabi

resolving and we are stil l waiting upon the L

se e what to do. . .

We have moved to a bet ter place, and the

ext ra room for Kal inka to start her massot

project when she can raise enough funds.

All the funds required were not availab

now we are still trying to make ends meet,

have dwindled in these last months whi

complicated the situation. Some extra funds

in but clue to less coming in from the

income things got complicated... We are at

of no return and not knowing what to do.

But then as this happens we can goScriptures and be reminded yes, the spiritua

of evil can try to block our blessings an

answers to prayer. And we see this happeni

with Daniel (Dn. 10:10-14).

So we have to wait patiently knowing t

Lord will send us victory when it is time.

Kalinka declares:  Sa tan s handiwork wiU be overcome and t h en t h er e wil t b e God s  t reme

victory,' She believes that our work has been attacked by satan because what God has for us i

and tremendous. And we are in this fight, with prayer, and fighting against our debts, but ab

holding God's hand, because we know that with Him in control we will not drown...

October 28 2013

Lloyd David Sanders is undergoing treatments for prostate

cancer. A new drug is available to him but very costly. He has had one

treatment that was a gift. The drug is administered each month at a cost

of  5 000.

For such a devout 95 year old Christian unafraid of death but

determined to accomplish as much as possible with eaeh day he is

given this matter is totally in the hands of God. The up side is he couldget relief from pain see the cancer recede enough to continueworkingawhile longer. He still goes to prayergroup regularly has many peoplecoming to him for counsel speaks occasionally for various eventsshares a passion for unity of Christian leaders and speaksout on issues

has unfinished projects. Of course there is no guarantee that the medwill succeed but his doctor extends good hope that it will.

The greatest and first request is for PRAYER. Ruth EdnaSanders passed away in January and her sister Bonnie Connell ofAnthony KS followed this past week. The times are in God s hands.But if you pray and feel led to send dollars for this purpose our GodJust may have in mind some further time and ministry. Brethren inBrasilia love him deeply and are also giving to meet this need.

How long will thesegifts beneeded? Wewillkeep you informed.

First and foremost; PRAY. THANKS comes next as we see

God s providence and grace enfold our brother for extended life hereor perfect life hereafter.
