“He set me apart, even from my mother’s womb, and called me through His grace and was pleased to reveal His Son in me, that I might preach Him among the Gentile(Brazilians).” Gal. 1:15-16
Since our last newsletter we have traveled many kilometers and visited many Free Lutheran churches in Brazil. One of our goals for this missionary term is to encourage local Free
Lutheran congregations and pastors. Although we have not had the freedom to be gone from the Curitiba area as much as we had originally anticipated due to our regular responsibilities with the churches in Bateias and São Braz, nonetheless we have had several opportunities to travel to other churches. In July Paul went to Campo Mourão where he participated in the winter Youth camp and had time with many of the pastors.
In August he and Pastor Joel, president of the national church body here, traveled to Vitoria, ES, for the installation of Pastor Lauro at one of our churches there. We are thankful to have a godly, enthusiastic man with a supportive family join our little group of Free Lutheran pastors trying to make a difference in Brazil.
