Greetings with Gratitude in Brazil, Please accept our thanks for your care and support, both fmancially & in prayer.

Our departure back to Brazil, after our short furlough, was not easy. We said goodbye to my parents at home and to our girls and our granddaughter, Larissa, at the airport. She had a Grand Mal seizure at the airport. We are thankful for the medical team and the ambulance workers who arrived and helped Larissa. Her mother, Julie, got off work from the hospital in time to see her pass through the seizure. It was quite an emotional departure.  Please pray for Larissa that the new medicine will help her and that she will outgrow the seizures.

To the right are two couples. Three are from Africa-St Thomas and Principe. Mom & Dad Paraiso their son, Eluid and Sandra, his wife. She is one of our "girls" from Amanda. Pray for Eluid and Sandra. They will be leading the church in Pedreira.

Sandra had major surgery February 15th. We covet your prayers for her full recovery. 

Lord willing, Marilyn and I will be returning to the mission house in Campinas and we're praying and looking at possibilities of where to plant a new church. This is another matter of prayer.   To the right is a photo of my parents, my sister Renee, myself, & my brother, Mark. This is first Christmas in years that we were together in the same place.

With you in The TASK,

Trasks for the Task.
