Greetings
from your co-workers to the Portuguese-Speaking World.
Here
in São Paulo, Brasil, we are all well, even though the fight for power and
money continue among the politicians and we have had many manifestations on the
streets. As you may have seen on the news, Brasil is right now the epicenter of
the pandemic and Sao Paulo is where we have more cases in Brasil.
We
have been working overtime and seeking to do all possible to serve as many
people as possible in Jesus name. Some supporting churches have asked us to do
a short video saying what we are doing and we have received other requests too,
we will work on them ASAP.
In
May Brother Ruben, from Jundiaí church, asked me to do a live commentary on the
Psalms, thus we are doing together on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 9 pm
to 10 pm on Instagram. Monica and I continue with the live devotionals, and we
continue with Hands On Bible College on Zoom on Tuesdays and the church
services on Thursdays and Sundays online and at Pirituba. We are doing all the
requirements from the Health Department, thus everything we are doing is legal.
Let
us give you a report on our Covid-19 efforts:
BROLM
received $3,273.00 for this purpose!

The
needs are only growing as unemployment grows, many factories, stores and small
businesses are closing and leaving the people without any compensation.
The
group that was donating the fruits that they were removing from the
supermarkets, has cut their supplies to the supermarkets drastically. From
April 1st to May 15th we had distributed over 800 fruit
and vegetables baskets. Since May 15th until now only 100. Thus,
people are going even more hungry.
Will
you, please, help us, with $15 we can purchase a food basket and help a family.
We
continue to help the Addiction Clinic, where we have some interns, with food,
too!
We
need your prayers for health, wisdom, and supplies to serve the people in need
at this time.
Thank
you very much for your prayers and gifts. Without them we could not do what God
has called us to do!
God is good, all the time; and He is acting among us!
In HIS Love and Service,
