How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” Romans 10:14-15

Dear Friends and Prayer Warriors,

Greetings from your coworkers to the Portuguese-Speaking World! We have great news, and also a great opportunity for you!

Brazil River of Life Ministries' (BRoLM) mission is to reach the Portuguese-Speaking World (Angola, Brazil, Cape Verde, East Timor, Guinea Bissau, Mozambique, São Tome and Principe, Portugal and USA) for Jesus Christ, so they can reach the rest of the world. BROLM believes that its mission can be achieved through its vision of reaching the lost through Evangelism, mentoring and equipping through Discipleship, Planting New Churches, providing Assistance and Justice where needed.
The main reason why BROLM is based in Brazil is because Brazilians have the prospect of becoming even more involved in the Great Commission, in going to the entire world and making disciples of Jesus Christ! Therefore, BROLM started a school to train workers for the harvest - the “Hands ON” Bible College/Leadership Training. The Brazilians are willing to fulfill the Great Commission; however they need to be trained!
To keep the school operating, BROLM needs $7,000 (US Dollar) per year; one of our supporters is challenging other supporters to match their giving towards the “Hands On” Bible College. They will match your giving toward the school in Brazil for up to $2,500 (US Dollar); however you need to act quickly. We have until December 31, 2012 to match this giving.
If you cannot donate towards this matching challenge before Dec 31, 12, you can still give during 2013, and still be considered for this matching challenge. Send us a note saying when and how much you can donate during 2013, and your giving will be considered towards this matching challenge.
Please, help BROLM to reach its 2013 financial goal for the “Hands On” Bible College!

Here are some November Ministry Highlights:

Youth Outreach!
The Sao Mateus Church Youth Group conducted the Monthly Youth Outreach at the square, which is close to the church, for safety reasons, on a Saturday morning in Nov. Continue to pray for them; this area of Sao Paulo has a lot of drug dealers and crime! They want to be God’s light that shines outside of the church walls!

Children’s Outreach!

The monthly Children's Outreach at Varzea Paulista, was a blessing! On Monday night Brother Marcio and his wife conduct a home group for the adults! BRoLM intends to plan its next congregation at this location. Please, pray that the Lord will open the doors!

Pirituba Church’s 19th Anniversary!
Our first church plant celebrated its 19th Anniversary! God is good! The Campo Limpo Paulista, Campinas, Jundiai and Sao Mateus Churches came for the celebration.

Your prayers and support are vital for us! Thanks!

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

Jeff & Monica Fife
