6 Humble
yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due
time. 7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:6-7 (NIV)
Dear Friends and Prayer Warriors,
Greetings
from your coworkers to the Portuguese-Speaking World!
Every
time we have to make decisions 1 Peter 5:6-7 is one of the many verses that
comes’ to our mind. As we make decisions, we what to humble under God’s mighty
hand, because we know that if we are obedient to His will at due time He will
lift us up, and we know that we can cast all our anxiety on Him because He
cares for us.
During
the last few months we been asking for your prayers for the mission trips to
Mozambique, Angola, Portugal and Guinea Bissau the purpose of these mission
trips to these Portuguese-Speaking countries is to help launch the “Hands-On”
Bible College so more and more church leaders can be trained for the Kingdom.
We have
received a request from Angola to postpone the travel plans from August to
November, so we are considering the possibilities to change the travel plans to
November, however we would need to change the travel plans to Mozambique too,
since it is less expense to visit two countries in one trip.
Another
concern that we have is the travel plans to Guinea Bissau in September, since
Guinea Bissau is going through a civil war again. One more concern is that
Occidental Africa that includes Angola and Guinea Bissau has an Ebola epidemic
and 90% of those that has the Ebola virus dies.
Please,
pray so we will make God’s decision about these travel plans.
Let us share with you

“Hands-On” Bible College Graduation
In 2009
we started a new curriculum at the “Hands-On” Bible College at Campo Limpo Paulista
Church where students from Campo Limpo Paulista and Jundiai Churches study.
After 4 years 7 students concluded their studies, and we are very proud of
them. The students are Ruben Daniel Oliveira Rodrigues (minister at Jundiai
Church), Marcio Ricardo Gut (elder at Jundiai Church), Gabriel Augusto de Paula
(elder in training at Jundiai Church), Wagner Sandro Moreira (elder in training
at Jundiai Church), Valdecir Antonio (elder in training at Jundiai Church),
Jose Aparecido Simonette (minister at Campo Limpo Paulista Church) and Domingos
Paulo de Matos (elder at Campo Limpo Paulista Church).
We are
very proud of these students that stayed firm until the end and did not give
up. Our goal for the next year is to continue with the “Hands-On Bible Colleges
in Campo Limpo Paulista and Mozambique and launch the “Hands-On” Bible College
at all Brazil River Life Churches in Brazil at Angola, Guinea Bissau and
Portugal.
The
2014 class decided to honor my father, Tom Fife, which taught the first class,
Hermeneutics. Thus the 2014 and first graduating class of the “Hands-On” Bible
College was names “Thomas W Fife”. Dads did a video for the graduation ceremony
so he could greed and thank the class for honoring him, it was a great
ceremony.
We
would like to thank with all our heart to those that has believe on the
“Hands-On” Bible College ministry and has invested through prayers and
financial gifts so the “Hands-On” Bible College possible.
