Dear friends,

Greeting from your coworkers to the Portuguese-Speaking World!

Thank you for making 2014 such a blessed year for BROLM (Brazil River of Life Ministry)! Your continued prayer and support of this ministry helps us to reach the Portuguese-Speaking World for Christ so they can reach the rest of the world. Through Evangelism, Discipleship and Planting New Churches BROLM is fulfilling the Great Commission.

As you consider your end of year giving, would you prayerfully consider a gift to BROLM? The giving of partners like you helps us to reach the goals that we believe God has set for us! As we approach the end of 2014 we have two great needs for 2015:

1.     2015 New Church Plant Goals - For 2015 BROLM (Brazil River of Life Ministries) is raising an extra $12,000 for church plants. The plan is to help plant two new churches with this one-time gift. We are happy to announce that BROLM has received $7,000 for this purpose. Would you please, consider helping us raise the remaining $5,000 so BROLM can plant two new churches in 2015?

2.     Hope Mission Water Well - When the Hope Mission moved from Napipine to Namicopo in Nampula, Mozambique in 2006, there was a possibility that they would have city water at the new location. However, that has not happened. The truth is that Nampula does not have water in over 60% of the city and the locations that do have city water do not have any water pressure; thus the Hope Mission needs a well. This well will serve the 1000+ students who study at the Hope School, the 100+ boys and girls who live at the Hope Home, and will serve over 10 families of teachers and evangelists who live at the Mission. It will also make it possible for them to have agriculture and some animals too. The cost to dig the well is $12,000 and the cost for the water pump and pipes is $3,000 for a total of $15,000. We have already been blessed with a gift of $1,000 for this purpose, but we still need $14,000. Would you please consider helping us with this project?

To give an end of year tax deductible gift to BROLM, please, mail your gift to:

P.O. Box 8262

Be sure it is postmarked by December 31st to qualify for your giving for 2014!

May the Lord richly bless your 2015 for His honor and glory in Jesus name!

Blessings!

God is good, all the time; and He is acting among us!

4 But when the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, 5 in order to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as children.  Galatians 4:4-5 (NRSV)

Dear Friends and Prayer Warriors,

Greetings from your coworkers to the Portuguese-Speaking World!

God waited until history reached the appointed time, and sent Jesus. At the right time—Roman government, Jewish subordination, good roads, freedom, a degree of security, a broad commercial-use language, cruel and barbaric punishments accompanied by religious rivalry. In times like these, He sent his Son to be the son of a woman. He emptied His house so that he could send a redeemer to our house. He did this so we could be His children; not pretend children, but real children, with all rights. Not only so He could be our God but also our Father. What a privilege to call the Creator Father! This is only possible because He sent His Son, our Savior Jesus Christ. 

Let us share with you some ministry highlights:

Women’s Outreach

In September the church in Sao Mateus promoted a Women’s Outreach. This church has grown a lot among the youth, however, Patricia, Gilberto’s (minister) wife does a great job in leading the women and she has been able to reach many women for the Lord. 

 Couple’s Outreach

The new church plant in Recife promoted a couple’s outreach in November. Bruno (minister) and his wife Luciene have a passion for couple’s ministry and this is the second couple’s retreat they promoted this year. This has been a great way to reach new people to come to this new church plant and they have seen many marriages being healed. 

 Pirituba’s Church Anniversary

The Pirituba church was the first church we helped plant back in 1992. This church has gone through a lot during the 22 years of its existence, however it continues to strive for God’s honor and glory. This is the church that I (Jeff) was asked to come back and pastor in 2012. It has been a time of healing for the church members, however, we are seeing real growth and are very happy to see what God is doing —especially through the youth ministry. If you look closely at the picture you will see that I was preaching through Webex and using Power Point. Technology used for God’s glory is a blessing! Please continue to pray for a total restoration of the Pirituba church. Monica and I will be going to Brazil on January 6, 2015, so we can invest more time at this church.

 2015 New Church Plant Goals

For 2015 BROLM (Brazil River of Life Ministries) is raising an extra $12,000 for church plants. The plan is to help plant two new churches with this one-time gift. We are happy to announce that BROLM has received $7,000 for this purpose. Would you please, consider helping us raise the remaining $5,000 so BROLM can plant two new churches in 2015?

Hope School Mozambique

 The school year at the Hope School in Mozambique ended with a parent/teacher meeting. The school year starts in February and ends in November. The school offers classes from 1st to 8th grade, and this year they had 1070 students; the capacity of the school is 1000 students. 98% of the students who study at the Hope School are Muslims and they are learning about Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. For these students the Hope School is the only option they have to learn how to read and write. During the second week of December the school opened for 2015 registration and they had 1000 students registered in 4 days. If they had more space to offer more classes they could register at least 1500 students. Please pray for the Hope School!

 Hope Mission Water Well

When the Hope Mission moved from Napipine to Namicopo in Nampula, Mozambique in 2006, there was a possibility that they would have city water at the new location. However, that has not happened. The truth is that Nampula does not have water in over 60% of the city and the locations that do have city water do not have any water pressure; thus the Hope Mission needs a well.

It will also make it possible for them to have agriculture and some animals too.

The cost to dig the well is $12,000 and the cost for the water pump and pipes is $3,000 for a total of $15,000. We have already been blessed with a gift of $1,000 for this purpose, but we still need $14,000. Would you please consider helping us with this project? 

God is doing great things through BROLM among the Portuguese-Speaking World, and your prayers and support are vital! Please continue to pray so the Lord will use BROLM more and more for His honor and glory!

Monica and I would like to thank you for your prayers and financial support during 2014. Everything the Lord did through BROLM in 2014 was because people like you accepted His called to pray and financially support us! We need you to continue praying and financially supporting BROLM in 2015.

 May the Lord richly bless you in Christ Jesus!

God is good, all the time; and He is acting among us!

In HIS Love and Service,

Thanks for praying for us!
