Dear Friends,
I have VERY SAD news to announce to you this morning. Last night in Campo Mourão our dear Silvana, daughter of Terezinha, was assassinated by two drive-away criminals on a motorcycle.
Silvana and her boyfriend, Leno, were delivering pop to the Miriam Infant Home for a Christmas party that was supposed to be today. It happened at 9:00 p.m. on the street corner by the Lar Paraná church. It was still light out and there were people on the streets yet. The police believe that the criminals shot at a mistaken target. Leno is in critical condition in the hospital after undergoing surgery. Please pray for him and his recuperation.
Of course, we are all overwhelmed with sadness and we are asking you to pray for this very dear family as they walk through this valley. Dona Tereza has been a main stay at our Bible School “forever” and Silvio is a key person in all that happens in the AFLC in Brazil. They need our love and prayers at this time.
Sorry to be a bearer of “sad news” at this time of year when we like to announce the “good news.”
Our love to you, Paul and Becky
