August 2019 Report
Greetings from your
coworkers to the Portuguese-Speaking World!
This time of the year
it is cold where we live, 40’s during the night and 50’s and 60’s during the
day, most Americans would say this is an ideal weather, whoever, when the
houses are made of concrete blocks and does not have any insulation, it gets
cold inside the house, specially the few nights that it goes down to the 30’s.
Monica and I have been
fighting some throat and sinus infection, and in my case some ear infection,
after taking all the medication we are not well yet. Let’s see what the doctor
has to say!
Please, pray for our
health.

ministry during the summer.
Now, Isaac is ready
for his senior year at JU (Johnson University), and he needs to raise support,
to come back as full-time missionary in 2020.
Isaac will return to
the USA on August 12, for the JU soccer pre-season and he will be helping with
the worship team at Seymour Heights CC.
Please, pray for
Isaac!
We been very blessed
with the HOBC (Hands on Bible College), as we have 6 locations in Brazil, and
we have trained a team in Mozambique to teach and they are traveling to
villages every weekend to teach, over 100 evangelists are being trained in
Mozambique. The classes will resume in Portugal soon and we have a meeting with
some brothers from Angola at ICOM to launch the HOBC in Angola too. This is
tremendous! God is good!
Please, pray for HOBC
throughout the Portuguese-Speaking World.
These two videos are 13 seconds long each and shows a couple of the HOBC classes in Mozambique. They do not have much, but they are very thankful.
Monica and I will
leave Brazil on August 19 and come back on November 22.
We will travel, most
of the time I will be alone, since the traveling is hard on Monica’s health, for
ICOM (International Conference on Missions) from August 25 through Nov 17.
Sherree (sherree@theicom.org) from ICOM’s office is responsible for our schedule. “They tell me how
high and I jump”. If you would like a copy our schedule, please, request and we will send you a PDF copy.
ICOM is responsible
for our travels in the USA, however, the international flights they will not
cover the cost, the cost of our tickets for the round trip at this time cost $2,791.82.
Anyone that would like or can help us with this expense it will be a blessing.
Please, pray for our
travels!
For now, it is all, I
could write a lot more about what God is doing, but time does not allow!
If you have any
questions, please, feel free to ask!
Thank you very much
for praying for us!
Blessings,
Jeff and Monica Fife
