Jumo, our new evangelist, has led some groups besides doing personal bible studies with the new converts. Also, he has preached in the worship service for the Jardim Europa church.

We planted a church in the Jardim Europa neighborhood where we’ve gathered together every Wednesday evening and we’ve got a worship service every Sunday morning with an attendance of 15 adults. We’ve met in a house and we’re trying to rent a place for us to assembly because we have some projects for this church that we think it is impossible to achieve it assembling in a house.

Although we worked a lot this last year we did not gather everything that we desired… we did not grow numerically very much, but we grew up in the Lord so much!!! I can see deep changes into member’s lives.

I believe the church is prepared to grow a lot this year. We sowed…now it’s time to reap!

We have got some plans and goals for this year…"Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the LORD's purpose that prevails" (Prov. 19:21).

Please, be praying for us to achieve our goals, or better, God’s plans. Pray for my family and me. I need your prayers…I need God’s power and love in my life. I want to have a pure and holy heart…I want to be a husband and father who is in the presence of God every day.

Thanks for everything you’ve done for me, my family and church.

God bless you,

Marcelo Lima
