Last evening we arrived at the city of Itacarambi. It is north of Montes Clares about 200 kilometers, and sits on a mighty river called, Rio Sao Franciso. We began our work quickly by setting up for an evangelistic service. This was held an outdoor park by the river itself. There, I told the citizens of this place the story of Saint Francis of Assisi, for whom their river is named. He was a young man of great privilege and wealth, I said, but - was a selfish young man until his life was changed forever by Christ. I told them they too could know this same Christ - and that we had come to tell them about him so that their live's and eternity might be changed. My text was John 3:16, a text that tells HIS story well.Our other team, the team of Chris Davenport and Pastor Brad Martin, is in the village of Pai Pedro. We have had little communication with them, but, when we do - we hear things are well and that many are coming to faith in Christ. Amen!!!!
Please continue to pray for us. Pray for continued health, unity of spirit and effectiveness with the people whom we meet. It is amazing to see God's Spirit working - and your prayers for us are being felt daily.
Deus Abencoe,
Pastor Sam
