Brazil Missionary Update
SEMINARY GRADUATION
Last Saturday almost 1,500 people visited our campus for graduation. Was a wonderful celebration. So many testimonies of the 175 graduates now going to serve in local churches and missions around the world. Please pray for the new challenges and new reality they will face in ministry from now on. Next school year starts in March and a number of students are requesting financial help.

GYM RENOVATION
A couple months back we started removing the old roof and replacing it with new metal tiles. The operation became bigger than we initially thought and there was this little concern we couldn’t finish it till graduation... but our team did a great job the last weeks installing new electric cables, new lighting and painting. The result looks fantastic. Thank you for so many of you who have given towards this renovation project. What a blessing!
BEFORE SUMMER CAMPS BEGINS
We expect around 3,000 attending our summer camps this January. Youth, children and families will have the opportunity to hear the Gospel in 4 locations around the Sao Paulo area. A lot needs to be done as we prepare volunteer staff and finish a number of construction and maintenance projects, including: repairing roads - it’s rainy season (photo), install a larger water reservoir, new hot water system, replace old bunk beds and so on. One of the exciting projects we are working on right now is the new soccer field. As you can see in the picture it looks very nice. Looking to the near future, pretty soon we will be starting construction of the new chapel, which we consider an enormous landmark in the ministry we believe will help us better reach young Brazilians and families to Christ. Thank you for praying.
THANKFUL FOR OUR FAMILY
Agnes and I celebrated 35 year of marriage this year… thankful for being able to serve in missions together for so many years. Melissa and Michael celebrated their 1st anniversary and live in Charleston, SC. Camila is in Orlando for over 5 years now. This year Disney pointed her as one of the coordinators for the Christmas Show at MK - huge! We are so proud of her. Both Melissa and Camila became US citizens this year, now they have dual citizenship. Mark is a junior at Liberty. He just got a job position as “Student Assistant”… it gives him the chance to interact with lots of students and will help him pay for phone bill, hamburgers and specially going out with Emily… (but this is another story I will tell you some other time ;)).
Agnes and I wanted to wish you a wonderful Christmas with family. Your friendship has been an encouragement to us. Thank you for praying and supporting our ministry and family in Brazil. God bless you.
