WE HAVE RAIN!!! Glory To God!!!” After
returning from Singapore this was an
email from a Sunday school teacher. It was
extremely encouraging to us and Ashley says we
should share it with all of you. “Dear Ashley
& Paul.
Today I finally got to show the class the
letter from you & a video clip posted from
your website (Global Equip).
This is the very 1st time the class got to
'hear' & 'see' what mission work is
like.
They were very excited & delighted that
they can actually write to you both in
person.
Here are their letters to
you....”

“It must
be dangerous & scary riding on a boat on
the river with crocodiles
in
it.
I really
envy you; you can go out & help,
preach to the
villagers.
Thank you
for using your precious time to introduce
& preach about God.
God will
definitely help you get the funds needed
for your mission.
Good job
& don't give up!
You can do
it!
Thank you
once more!
Chan Yee Qi (10)” “You are
doing well!
Keep it
up!
I am inspired by
you!
When I grow up, I
want to be a missionary too!! Gabriel (9)”“I
felt very touched for what you all have
done in Brazil.
If
you did not do that, the people in the village
would die & suffer from not having clean
water.
If I was one of
the people of the village, I do not know how to
thank you all.
All I want to say
is, you had done a good job!
You
are good missionaries! Faith
(10)”

Friday night fire, the headlights are shinning
on one of our cabins.
|
Just a few weeks after returning from Singapore
we came home on a Friday night to this scene in
our back yard. The mountain
was on fire. Over the next
10 days a helicopter came, several teams of
fire fighters came, 10 of our friends came to
help as well by making a fire break in the
woods to protect our land. We had a few
days rest when another fire started very close
to our land, the day I was leaving for the
international “ISOM 20th anniversary”
conference in the USA. So two hours
before I left for an international flight we
called again on the local fire fighters who
showed up after I left for the
airport.

After arriving in America at my mother’s home,
came the good news of the
week.
All the fires were out and everything was
under control! Then a
week later another phone call that
someone had set some leaves on fire
inside our ranch to get rid of some
wasps.
The fire went wild in a matter of hours and I
had to return to Brazil for damage control and
stress relief for Ashley who was completely
over whelmed with the chain of
events. Now, I am in
Brazil and not in the USA to speak at the “ISOM
20th” which would have some focus on our work
in the Amazon and the missions training
program.
