Ministry in Maringa - Jonathan Abel

This week we had a good week that was very encouraging for the congregation in Maringa. We saw answers to many prayers that we had been praying for, for some time. One answer was particularly interesting because it is a new person in the ongregation, who was engaged in some major legal battles to receive two trucks that he was being swindled out of. Those who know the legal system of Brazil, know that these things can take years to resolve, but to our encouragement and to his joy, this week both cases were resolved and he received his two trucks. Other important answers to prayer also happened, one being that one of the ladies who has been healed of cancer asked to be baptized and got baptized! Praise God for His answered prayers. We continue to pray for property to build our church here, and believe we are getting closer to seeing this prayer answered as well.
