Updating Blog and Website and Brochure!

I apologize for not keeping up with the Blog.....2014 has been a crazy busy year so far.  Let me catch you up on what has been going on.

LCM has continued to help with several ministries.  I have tried to publish pages here on the blog that will keep you informed.  I traveled to Manaus, Brazil with Pr Jose and Leoni and we are going into partnership with the Presbyterian Church of Manaus with some projects with a local church in Manacapuru, Brazil which is SW of Manaus.  I fell in love with the church family there and we are very excited about the projects that ARS will be undertaking.

Since my return from Brazil, I have been working hard on getting the website ready to go, updating the brochure and other promotional material.  I will let everyone know when the site is ready take off.  As soon as the new brochure is completed, I will be talking to more people about what LCM is all about and how they can join us.

Besides working with the LCM promotional material, I am working with ARS in getting all of their promotional material updated since our projects have changed as well as working with New Covenant Fellowship with the upcoming WOW Ladies Event in September!  More details to come!!!

Finishing CIPSI and getting ready for Amazon

We are all working hard getting all the details wrapped up on the CIPSI Conference.  I will not be able to put many pictures up due to the slow internet connection.  I hope you have been able to go to the ARS Facebook to see them.  This week is full of meetings with the accountant, touching base with Pastor's who helped us last week and medical check ups for Pr Jose. 

I had the opportunity last night to preach at the English Service at Lagoinha Baptist Church here in Belo.  It was a wonderful time and I certainly was blessed.

We are also getting ready to leave on Friday for the Amazon.  The team from the US will be leaving on Friday also and then we will all meet up in Manaus.

This has been a full month with the CIPSI Conference.  I have met some wonderful people.  The speakers and volunteers were tremendous.  They all worked hard and had a wonderful servants heart and attitude.  We are having a meeting on Thursday with some Pastors who desire to do a second conference next year.  My prayer is that there will be a strong team of leaders who will work throughout the year in preparation and contacts.  This year, we had several who worked very hard and Pr & Leoni really worked hard (too hard in my opinion).  We need strong leadership here in Brazil to take up the responsibilities so that next year we will be able to reach more people.

I am very excited about this next chapter of this trip.  I visited the Amazon last year so it will not be a total surprise.  I am looking forward to the ministry opportunities in the riverside communities.

Thank you for your continued prayer support!  God is good and I am so grateful for your partnership!  I will make posts when I am able and the Internet is working!
When I am able I will tell you the stories that go along with these pictures!  Bless you!
