APRIL 2012
Dear Prayer Partners,
Greeting from your co-workers to the Portuguese-Speaking World!
We have exciting news to share with you! We are counting the days, hours and minutes to go to Brazil and we need your prayers!
I (Jeff) will be leaving to Brazil on May 3, Monica and Isaac leave on May 20, and Roger will accompany the Experience Brazil 2012 Team on July 20. This summer I will be staying in Brazil for 15 weeks, Monica and Isaac will return with me in August and Roger will return with the Experience Brazil 2012 Team.
Here are a few of our goals for this summer:
1. I will be the interim minister at the Pirituba Church. Monica’s father will retire from his obligations at the Pirtuba Church and I’ll be assuming that responsibility on May 6. The Pirutba Church is down to 30 in attendance every Sunday, in 2004 when we left the Pirituba Church to plant the Campo LImpo Paulista Church, the Pirituba Church had over 180 members and averaged 220 on Sundays.
2. Work and build a strong leadership at Pirituba Church, and help them search for God’s will for a new minister.
3. Visit during the mid-week services the BROLM (Brazil River of Life Ministers) Churches in the Southeast.
4. Teach at the “Hands On” Bible College.
5. Promote Children, Youth, Women's and Men's outreaches.
6. Couples Retreat.
7. Leadership Seminars and Meetings.
8. Receive Dr. David Eubanks, elder at SHCC (Seymour Heights Christian Church) and former Johnson President, July 14-21.
9. Receive Experience Brazil 2012 Team July 21-30.
10. Participate in the Pre-World Convention in Brasilia July 24.
11. Participate in the World Convention in Goiania, July 25-29.
12. Take a 5 day-long' family vacation.
We need your prayers!
We have a full schedule as you can see below; we will be preaching, teaching, speaking, counseling, visiting, leading etc. We need to be covered by your prayers!
We are hoping to raise a team of at least 100 Prayer Warriors that will commit to pray for us daily, during this summer! We will send weekly updates and prayer requests; we will place pictures and updates also at the BROLM blog (http://brazilriveroflifeministries.blogspot.com/) and at our Facebook page (Jeff e Monica Fife).
If you would like to commit to pray for us during this summer, as we work for 15 weeks in Brazil, please send a reply message to fife@brolm.org or rlm_fifes@hotmail.com; we would like to make a list of our prayer warriors. So please, send us a message if you would like to be our Prayer Partner this summer.
Here is our first prayer request!
We have purchased, by faith, the airplane tickets. We will fly from Tri-Cities, TN, to Guarulhos, Sao Paulo, from Sao Paulo to Brasilia, ride the bus from Brasilia to Goiania, and fly from Goiania back to Sao Paulo. The international tickets cost $5,564.59 and the national ones $537.24 a total of $6,101.83. We have received a gift from SHCC of $2,000.00 for this purpose, therefore we still need $4,101.83 to cover these expenses. Praise the Lord - our cup is 1/3 full! Please pray that God will touch people hearts to help us cover these expenses.
Thank you very much for your prayer and financial support!
