I Peter 2:9
Serving In The Country Of Brazil
Dear Friends and Supporters,
“Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou
shalt be fed.” Psalm 37:3. God has blessed in the last few months as we have continued
to press forward in the process of raising support to go to Brazil. We have had a
wonderful time meeting new people, seeing old friends and family and working to build
our support.
God has seen fit to raise our support to 41% during the last few months! Praise the
Lord for His provision! We are looking forward to our next letter and an increase
between now and then as well. God provides all we need and we trust that, before we
realize it, we will be in Brazil.
We have stayed very busy traveling during the last few months as well. In about 4
weeks time we traveled over 4,000 miles without so much as a flat tire. God has
protected us every step of the way. First we had the opportunity to present our work in
a church in Hallstead, PA. Since Tonya has family that lives in that area, we were able
to spend time with them, both on the way up and on the way back. We then traveled to
Charleston, WV, to present in two churches. From there we went to Lawrenceville, GA,
to the GPA National Camp Meeting at Galilean Baptist Church. During that week we
were also able to present in a church in Norcross, GA. We left there a little early to
drive up to Louisburg, NC, where we participated in CAMP GRACE, a combination
Summer Camp and Mission Conference that Grace Baptist Church (which supports us)
has every year. We have participated in this several times and it is always a highlight!
Two children accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior during Camp Grace. Finishing up
there, we were able to travel up to a supporting church in Lebanon, VA, where Jon had
the privilege to preach and we had a wonderful time of fellowship with the people there.
After we returned home from this long stretch on the road we began feverish
preparations for Vacation Bible School at Pleasant View Baptist Church (also a
supporting church and whose mission home we are living in). We were able to help out
in their VBS program and the Lord blessed tremendously. We had nearly 30 children
and almost 15 parents show up for the program. Many of these children are from the
neighborhood where the church is located, so it was a great opportunity to reach out to
the community with the Gospel. By the end of the week, 4 of the children indicated that
they had professed Christ as Savior. Praise the Lord!!
Kyle is also continuing to grow. He has been such a wonderful blessing to us. He
has ridden in the car for thousands upon thousands of miles in the first 7 months of his
life, but he doesn’t complain. He sleeps all night, and simply does what is necessary.
He is the perfect baby for missionary deputation. We could not ask for a better baby.
Keep praying that we will have our support soon. God will get us there in His time.
We are ready whenever He is. We look forward to our next update!
Serving Christ and Others,
Jon and Tonya Harman
