The Jefferson´s Asked me to Post a Request for Prayer this Week

God has answered all of our requests of Him so far, so let us ask Him to pave the way before every step we take these next few days in preparation for the costruction of a small church in an interior village that we work with. Two small teams of 4 are coming from the States...one with construction experts, and one with men who were the first to bring the gospel to this village almost 3 years ago. Now there are about 30 church attenders of which about 15 are believers in Christ. We willl also be accompanied by Brazilian friends from our church here in the city.

We are facing many road blocks in the final steps of prep this week. These include things like banks on strike, ordered materials delayed, a freak occurance where our internet company cancelled our connections for no reason, and others.

The Bible says that Jesus´ death and resurrection disarmed the enemy and subjected Him to humiliation. Since his weapons are powerless against us, let us call on the Almighty to carry our efforts forward and let us be ready to receive those who are coming from the US! We do not despair in the setbacks, and we are not surprised either. Trials of various kinds are sent to test our faith and develop perseverance in us! May it be so in the Name of Jesus. Amen.

Thank you for your partnership friend!

Love in Christ,

Sarah
