This is a quick prayer request letter. I really want to get news out also, but for now, please pray –
Missionary John Abel, Paul’s Dad, is presently in emergency surgery in Campo Grande where he went to do an evangelism campaign.
He has trouble urinating the past days and went to the hospital last night and had a catheter put in. It is a holiday here in Brazil and they were not able to get a urologist to take care of him. The last I heard the bleeding required emergency surgery. We are waiting for further news. It’s hard to be away from home and family at times like this. Please remember John and Ruby in your prayers today.
Also please pray for me and for Yara as we are in Campo Mourao teaching at the Bible School. Last night we had a class of 30 students. We are doing modules on Conflict Resolution, Interpersonal Relationships, Camping and Children’s ministries.
Paul is in Vitoria with Pastor Del Palmer and Pastor Jim and Linda Fugleberg. When I talked to him this morning they were already ministering in a church there and Paul was translating. Pray for this time of encouragement. Next week we will be having a national pastor’s retreat here in Campo Mourao with our visitors being the guest speakers.
Sorry I have not let you into the loop of our ministry these days, but thank you for remembering us in prayer as we live out our lives because of the Gospel in this place.
In Christ, Becky
