Dear Friends and Family,
Unfortunately, we have some bad news. One of our dearest pastors, my mentor, teacher of many, friend for a lot of people, and considered part of my family, passed away on the 10th of April. Rubão impacted so many lives, that at his funeral service around 300 passed by the funeral in that quick one hour because of all the regulations. Rubão met my father in 2002 and they became best friends as brothers. In 2006 he came to Campo Limpo church, did the Hands On Bible College, and became an elder in the church. After finishing the HOBC he was separated for pastoral ministry and planted the church in Jundiaí with all the support of the mother church, Campo Limpo Paulista. He was a faithful man, an amazing teacher, pastor, mentor, father of two daughters, two grandsons, and loved Edna, his wife so much. Rubão will be remembered for demonstrating God’s love towards others. If I can put it in two words, Rubão showed Godly love.
We would like to thank all of you that have prayed for us and have given towards the Food Baskets, we have been helping many families at these difficult times. If you would like to help, we can purchase and help a family with food baskets for USD15,00 each.
As Isaac mentioned above, we lost one of our best workers that died of a heart attack during the treatment of the Covid pos-syndrome. Ruben Daniel Rodriguez (Robão), was 53 years-old, a schoolteacher, a preacher and a good friend. We have been helping his family and the church in Jundiaí to continue on after such a great loss.
As we mentioned in March´s report, Jamie Leaverton, Isaac´s future wife is coming to Brazil this summer for her official Johnson University Internship, we are helping her raise the funds for this purpose. She needs USD1,500.00 to pay for her tickets and expenses, she will be here from May 25 to August 10. Would you, please, help! Thanks! (Please, mention on your gift Jamie's Internship, Thanks).
Please, continue to pray for us, for good health, wisdom and for God's will in our lives.
