Training, Sending, and Trusting God for the Harvest
March 3, 2026
Dear Friends,
Our Missionary Training Seminar came to a very successful conclusion last month. The Lord saw fit to use our 17 veterans and the 19 trainees to share the gospel and lead dozens of new believers to Christ. The remote fishing village where the team ministered offered some challenges due to its rustic culture and geographic location. The village, Guarequecaba, is only reached by boat or a 60-mile rough ride through the rain forest. Our team was happy to endure the conditions, though, to share the love of Jesus with many who have never heard. Three of the trainees are making preparations to become members of one of our new traveling evangelistic teams. Some of the others are returning to their home churches better equipped for evangelism and enthusiastic about using what they learned during the seminar.
Yago and Manoela are doing well with their work in Portugal. They minister faithfully week by week, and their church dearly loves them. As many of you know, their baby daughter, Ester, was born with some physical disabilities. In most countries, she and her family could adjust to the challenges because society and culture have sought to adapt buildings and public places with more convenient access to facilities. Portugal has not been at the leading edge of that movement and Ester’s and her parent’s challenges are only heightened. Please pray for them as they learn to navigate the world they live in with its difficulties.
In just a little over a week, I am heading out with an evangelistic team to assist in the inauguration of a new church in the Amazon. We will be going from one riverside village to another by boat, evangelizing in homes and public spaces as the opportunities arise. During our week of travel on the riverboat, we will have to sleep in hammocks suspended from the boat’s framework. I have done this before, but it has been a few decades. I would appreciate your prayers for our health and well-being, but especially that the Lord would greatly use us to bring many people to Christ as their Lord and Savior.
In Christ’s love,
Bobby and Charlene Wacaser

Plenty to Celebrate
December 13, 2022
Dear Brethren,
It has been a while since I have reported to you. My bad. Over the past three months it seems that I have been ill more than well. In and out of the doctors’ offices regularly. Even had some pretty serious surgery. Not an excuse. Not a complaint. Just letting you know that my motivation is pretty low right now. There is plenty to celebrate though, so here goes.
We have a young man in our church who owns an air taxi company (2 planes. His dad started the company). Ismael flies us on some of our mission trips to more remote locations. We pay just the gas. He took me and 3 of my guys to visit our missions at Santa Rosa do Purús and Jordão. These are the two most remote and isolated cities of the 22 official municipalities (counties) of the State of Acre. We have sent already sent missionaries to all of the towns that had no Baptist church.
We sent Lucas and Diana to Santa Rosa do Purús 3 years ago, during the pandemic. They have won some souls already and are meeting on a porch along one side of the house that we bought them. We have asked Lucas to start looking for property for us to put up our first building. They are also helping the small group of Kaxinauá Indian believers that we had contacted before we actually sent our missionaries there.

Idevaldo and Queila have been at Jordão for 6 or 7 years now. They just finished their brand new building. All services had between 60 and 70 people. There were 4 professions of faith. On Sunday morning I baptized 7 people in the very shallow waters of the Tarauacá River.

Our trip covered about 1200 miles. This took just a few hours of travel time. I can reach both towns by trailering my boat then going up two different rivers. This would take a combined 68 hours just of travel time. Our work has expanded so far that the plane is a life saver.
At the same time that I was baptizing at Jordão, our home church also added 15 more members by baptism.
In mid-November I held a three day meeting for our church at Assis Brazil. It was their 60th anniversary celebration. Dad organized this church on November 15, 1962. Originally the church was located beside the lake at Humaitá do Moa. Later they moved to terra firma inland at Assis Brasil. They are in a beautiful and big new building. They have a vibrant mission work, too. Five children were saved on Sunday night. I waited until the last night of the meeting to reveal that I was the musician who played my accordion for the organization service 60 years ago. If I had told them that prior to the meeting they would have tried to convince me to play again now. Fortunately, none of us were subjected to that torture! The meeting ended well.
Thanks for all of your prayers and support. God bless you as much as He has us.
In Christ,
