Dear Pastor & Co-Laborers in Christ,
We are so thankful
for this new year, with new challenges, hopes and plans. First
of all we praise the Lord for our life, the air we breathe, for
restored health. The Lord has seen fit to bless us with a
renewed desire to return to Brazil and continue the work He has
allowed us to do there. After planting Bible Baptist Churches in
Rondonia Brazil for 30 years, He has allowed us to have a part
in Discipleship in an Indian tribe for the past 6 years! God is
so good, and is always right! We are also thankful that you have
had a faithful part in our ministry through your prayer and
financial support. We love and appreciate you so much!
We are planning to
return to Brazil sometime in June. At the present Henry is
continuing post-op exams, which so far are turning out good.
Also we'll be reporting to churches in this area and hopefully
raise extra support for the Indian work. We are so thankful that
our house is almost completed in the tribe, but we need more
solor panels to have adequate energy for a refrigerator and a
small air conditioner for extreme heat in the afternoons. So far
the generator is pumping water, providing lights every night for
home and church, and run the air for 3 hours. Flying in Diesel
for the generator is very expensive. Bringing it in over water
and land is difficult, and sometimes futil because the boat has
tipped over many times losing all supplies. We have calculated
that solar panels is the best source and in the long run more
ecconomical.
Please pray for
$6,000.00 that we need to liquidate the remaining expense of the
Ultra-lite ($2,500.00) and solar panels ($3,500.00).
Also, please continue to pray with us about the work with the
Jamamadi people, and the "Invisible People", that we will have a
successful contact with them and be able to share Christ's love
to them. Also for the 5 other tribes that have been opened to
us. The Lord has given us many opportunities for evangelizing
the Amazon Interior of Brazil, and we are so thankful
We love and appreciate you folks so much!
Henry and Nancy Mantonya
