Faithful Through Every Challenge: God’s Grace Sustains Ministry Leaders

May 26, 2025
Dear Friends,
I spoke with three of our local pastors this week about their ministry needs and progress. As I reflected on what they shared with me, I was reminded that we all have similar challenges. Of course, each leader’s situation has some unique details, but the general challenges are very similar. Each of us deals with tight budgets, each of us deals with a few people who are obstinate or divisive, each of us deals with health struggles, either our own, or those of a close family or church member. What I was encouraged by, though, was how each of these men sees God’s grace and provision in the middle of their circumstances, and they remain faithful, and even excited, about all that God is doing in and through them. The Lord is blessing continuously in all our ministries. Our traveling evangelistic team, Projeto Vida, was invited to present gospel skits, personal testimonies, and to share God’s word one-on-one with over 2500 students and staff members in public schools and gyms this past month. At least 61 individuals from among that group confessed publicly that Jesus Christ was their Lord and Savior!
We thank and praise God for these conversions and for the privilege to make Him known to so many unreached people. Our team of young men and women who live with so little of this world’s “material” things is such a joyful example of a life surrendered to Christ. I am honored to know them and minister beside them.
We are still praying for Yago and Manoela in Portugal, and their “almost here” baby girl, Esther. We are still praying for the Lord to do what only He can do, and that is to bless Esther’s final days of development so that she is born fully developed. The doctors have grave concerns about the lower part of her spinal column not being completely developed, which would almost certainly leave her with a great degree of limited mobility from her hips down. Please pray with us for a miracle from our loving and powerful Father for Esther and her parents. They continue to serve their congregation faithfully.
Charlene and I are so grateful to you who pray for us faithfully and give so that we may continue to live for His honor and glory.
In Christ’s love,
Bobby and Charlene Wacaser
