THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT – PRAYERS – ENCOURAGEMENT

In taking the gospel to the ends of the world, we are called to testify to the truth about
Jesus and how He has changed our lives. “How shall they believe in Him of whom they have
not heard?” (Rom. 10:14).

It is time to share and celebrate what God has done during our Global Missions ministry
trips in August and September. All the Glory and Honor to our Savior Jesus Christ.

Church planted: 1

Thank you for your prayers. God answered each one of our requests. He give me wisdom as
I trained Pastor Rodrigues, e3 regional coordinator for Foz do Iguacu area, on e3
procedures and guide lines for utilizing e3 methodology and tools to ignite a Church
Planting Movement in the Foz do Iguacu region. God gave us boldness and words as we
encountered Muslims, Buddhists, and Catholics.

Our WM team of three worked with Pastor Genildo – Igreja Batista Jardim Sao Paulo. He
had a vision to plant a church in a neighborhood near the church building. When we first
visited the plant church site, trash was the word that come to my mind. TRASH noun
anything worthless, useless, or discarded; rubbish (dictionary.com). People that reside in
this area make their income by collecting trash bags from houses in the vicinities selecting
what to sell, what to eat, what to trash.
At this point I knew we were in the place that God wanted us to be…. He loves His people
and sent His Son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for you and for them.
Lately, I have realized that during mission trips we find the best opportunities to disciple
people that are with us. I thank God that He allowed me to spend time with Mike and
Nancy sharing the Gospel and making disciples. Mike and I made our first visit to a young
man. It was a blessing to see Mike’s passion when sharing his testimony and presenting the
Gospel to this young man. On the same day I spent some time talking and ministering to
“C”, a man that makes his income selecting garbage for others. Both of them came every
night to Bible study at the church building.

August 15 - 22

WM team: 1
Number of people who accepted Jesus as Savior = 438
Churches planted = 3

Thank you for your prayers. God answered each one of our requests. He gave me wisdom,
kindness, leadership skills as I led this campaign as a Church Planter alongside Carol
Wilson, e3 Church Plant Coordinator. God also give me wisdom as I trained Pastor
Joaquim, e3 regional coordinator for Brasilia region, on e3 procedures and guide lines to
ignite a Church Planting Movement in Brasilia utilizing e3 methodology and tools.
God gave us boldness and words as we encountered people living in poverty, abusive
situations, and addiction to alcohol.

In Aguas Lindas our e3 team worked with four churches evangelizing their neighborhood
and mission points. We spent two days in each site. We divided our American short term
missionaries in two teams and each one of them worked in one of those four sites for two
days. We also conducted services with Bible studies on all evenings where New Life in
Christ discipleship material was utilized.

Pr. Joaquim e3 regional coordinator We PRAY… We EVANGELIZE…

 We study the Bible… MADE disciples of Jesus Christ.

Bob and I went to visit a family (pictured above) and as Bob started to share the Gospel,
we realized that God had a plan… here is Bob’s testimony “The visit with Amelia (59),
Janulina (56) and Ivanilda (19) was filled with the Holy Spirit as these three women were
transformed from “ignoring” us at the beginning of our visit, then identifying with
experiences like those in my testimony, to ultimately accepting Jesus as their Savior.
Though the older two women could not read, they were brilliant in the follow up Bible
lesson. “

As we evangelized and made disciples in Aguas

Lindas, we had the opportunity to meet Godly
men and women. It was amazing learning what
God has done in Antonia’s and Ronei’s lives and
family. She and her husband used to compete
on who could drink more at the bars. Today,
both of them, along with Jeilson (14), Jean
(15), and Victor (9) started a church in their
house. As we visited them God used us to bring
a word of encouragement to the family.

Brazilians are very open to the Gospel and are willing to participate in Bible studies and
services. We need to be very intentional in not only presenting the Gospel but also to start
the discipleship process by being Christ’s “hands and feet.” We also need to continue to
develop in ourselves a sense of empowering the nationals (i.e. having them more and more
involved in leading activities in the field as well as in evening Bible studies). I believe this
will ignite a strong and steady church planting movement among Brazilian churches.
 Brazil – Santo Andre - Sao Paulo State
August 22 -29

WM team: 4
Number of people who accepted Jesus as Savior = 136
Churches planted = 3

Thank you for your prayers. God answered each one of our requests. God gave me wisdom,
kindness and teaching skills as I trained Paul Boyes, e3 staff, on e3 procedures and guide
lines to become an e3 Church Planting leader. He was excellent!!
God gave us boldness and words as we encountered people living in poverty, abusive
situations, prostitution, addition to drugs and alcohol.
God protected us against the enemy as witchcraft is a very common practice in Santo
Andre.

In Santo Andre – Sao Paulo our e3 team partnered with two churches to evangelize four
distinct areas where pastors had a vision to plant new churches. We worked in three slams
(favelas) areas and in the churches’ neighborhood. We also had all the evening services
with Bible study with discipleship material in Portuguese New Life in Christ.

Despite the fact that we had some raining days and worked in some very rough areas,
 our team kept on GOING, kept on SHARING, and kept on MAKING DISCIPLES

The day was almost over, it was cold and we were all
wet since it had been raining all that afternoon. I saw
Sueli and started to talk with her. I asked Teresa,
who was a few yards from me finishing talking with
someone, to share her testimony with Sueli. Same
story, same problems, same lack of hope. Teresa then
shared with her the Salvation Plan and Sueli accepted
Jesus as Savior. She was joyful when she left and
started to share with her next door neighbor about
Jesus.
Now she will be spending eternity in Heaven….
Two of our campaigners, Kirk Stenersen and
Naomi Stenersen, are cousins. He lives in New
Hampshire and Naomi lives in Washington State.
Here is part of their stories “… We could not
determine if she was sincere, but I really felt we
needed to try again, so we did. She is a 17 year
old and had accepted Christ at a younger age, but
had left God, church and relationships with her
Christian family. She re-committed to Christ and
wept as we prayed. It was an encouragement
because my sister has walked away from Christ.” Kirk Stenersen

“We went to a house and a lady was out getting a package that came in the mail. She was
expecting a baby and was due in a few weeks. I shared my testimony and realized we have
same story. She received Christ against her family’s wishes and then asked us to pray for
her baby too.” Naomi Stenersen

WM and e3 team: 1

Thank you for your prayers. God answered each one of our requests. God gave me wisdom
as I initiated contacts with pastors and churches with the intent to forge partnerships
with e3 to host campaigns in 2010. God provided ten new churches and I met with the
pastors and some other ministries to plan e3 trips for 2010. God gave me discernment in
realizing where He wants us to be conducting campaigns in 2010. He also gave me “steam”
and energy since this was the fourth week of working in Brazil. As always, God provides an
“oasis” of rest.

Meetings were arranged in Santo Andre, Sao Paulo, Campinas, and Sao Jose dos Campos.
As I visited nine churches in Brazil of different denominations, I was amazed by how
Brazilian churches are obedient to the Great Commission. They send missionaries overseas,
they have outreach in other states in Brazil and in their neighborhood, but all of them
want to host an e3 campaign and learn e3’s methodology of planting churches. They all have
the same vision to ignite a church planting movement in all of Brazil.

Thank you to all of you who prayed; you were as much a part of our teams as if you were
there with us. I greatly appreciate you.

Have a blessed day.

and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick
and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'”
