Hello,

Pray you had a great and wonderful celebration of the Lord’s resurrection.  We will return to the States and be in Ohio from around June 16th to the end of July.  If you are available, we would love to see you.  What do you think?  Let me know.  In addition, we are very grateful for your continued partnership to spread the Good News of Jesus here in Brazil.  Be blessed with the below update.

The place where we live has a room for gatherings.  We asked the management if they would allow us to use this room to have an Easter service for the people living in and outside the area.  Praise the Lord; they agreed and let us use the space at no cost.  We sent out the invitations through social media and put a sign-out.  We had a very good turn-out.  !  During the service, we had a time of worship, followed by Elba preaching the good news of Jesus and His resurrection.  The kids got to paint eggs.  Afterward, we served breakfast that included waffles and pancakes.  The whole time was a success and an excellent opportunity to get to know our neighbors.  Interestedly people had such a great time that they did not want to leave until our time allotted was over at the room.  That was a good problem!

The girls lead the charge with the kids to paint eggs and pray with them. 

Again, we will return to the US on June 16th and stay in Columbus until the end of July.  We will attend the National Vineyard conference from July 31^st to August 3^rd.  Then will come back to Brazil on August 6^th. 

We would love to meet you to get caught up in your life.  It would be great to see you.  Please write me back, and I will get you on the calendar.  Our time is short in the US, and we will do our best to take advantage of the time we have. 

Also, if you would like us to share the vision of planting churches in Belém at your group or church, please let us know.  It would be a great honor!

Much love, Steve, Elba, Camilly, and Alyssa

We appreciate your continued prayers:

• Please pray that we will identify the new senior pastor of the Belém church plant.

• Please pray that the Lord will continue to reveal His plans to the church and us.

• Please pray for our church, leadership, and congregation to help people draw close to God as we navigate this time and leadership transition. 

• Please pray for the rejection of this virus from your loved ones and its eradication.

• Please pray for our family, especially our girls, in this next phase of our lives.  

• Please pray for our spiritual, physical, mental, emotional, and financial health.  

Much love, Steve, Elba, Camilly, and Alyssa
