Dear friends and prayer warriors,

Greetings from your coworkers to the Portuguese-Speaking World!

The month of October was full of activities!

(Click on the pictures to enlarge them!)

October is Children’s Month in Brazil and Oct 12 is Children’s National Day. For this reason we had many Children Outreaches in October.

Children Outreach at Mursa – Varzea Paulista Oct 6.

Children Outreach at Sao Mateus Church Oct 13.

Children Outreach at Campo Limpo Paulista Church Oct 14.

Children Outreach at Jundiai Church Oct 21.

On the first weekend of Oct., the churches in Southeast promoted a Women’s Retreat in Campinas.

Saturday Oct 13 the Elders and wives from Campo Limpo Paulista and Jundiai Churches met at Jundiai Church to pray together seeking God’s will for the churches before the elders meet to plan 2013.

The Sao Mateus Church promoted a Women’s Tea on Saturday afternoon, Oct 27.

On Saturday night, Oct 27, the Sao Mateus Church Youth Group did a Youth Outreach at one of the squares close to the church. At this square many young people get together to play soccer, and for other activities; however, many that hang around there at night are drug users. The Sao Mateus Church Youth Group intends to promote an outreach at this square every month. Please, pray for them!

The “Hands On” Bible College had classes on Oct 6! We need your prayers and support to keep on with the “Hands On” Bible College in 2013. Students will be graduating in June and we have new students that are starting! It is a priority for us to develop strong Bible base leadership for the churches in Brazil and for the future missionaries to the Portuguese-Speaking World for this reason the “Hands On” Bible College it is vital for BRoLM and for the Kingdom of God! Thanks for your support!

October this year was the last month of school in Mozambique; they do not have classes Nov-Jan because of the rainy season. This year the Hope School had 1053 students, and registrations for 2014 start in Nov. Before the rainy season all the church leaders, wives and members from the 64 villages’ churches got together in Oct. for the National Leadership Conference. This is a major event every year; the theme this year was "God’s Call" (Isaiah 6:8).

This year Juracema has devoted a lot of her time to working with the Macua women; she meets weekly with, them and she is very happy with the results.
 Thanks for your prayers for Monica…
Your prayers and support make it possible for Brazil River of Life to continue to reach the Portuguese-Speaking World for Christ. Thank you very much!

God is good, all the time; and He is acting among us!
In HIS Love and Service,
Jeff & Monica Fife
