A Wonderful Month + Fruit of BFM

Odali and Kathy Barros served the Lord in Sao Paulo, Brazil together from 1987-2013. In late 2013, they transitioned to Manaus in Northern Brazil to start sharing the Gospel and planting churches in villages along the river.

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

This month has been a wonderful month with many wonderful moments in our ministry. We pray and hope you all have had a wonderful month also.

We are working more and more to help our members work together and have more fellowship. Since everyone lives far away from each other it is great to have fellowship. This week a lady in our church wanted to have a thanksgiving dinner and service. We had the service. A husband who also went wanted to have a surprise happy birthday for his wife. The time together was wonderful.

There is a man who has a tourist business. Every year at the end of the season he has a thanksgiving service with all his workers and their families. He invites us every year. We always try to go. It is a wonderful time of fellowship. What is so wonderful also is that the pastor of the church there is fruit of Baptist Faith Missions. The first pastor there was Bro. Hatcher and the father of the pastor who is there now. One of the ladies who was there was saved when Bro. Hatcher was preaching. God continues blessing BFM. May this ministry continue reaching lost souls.

This Sunday we did something totally different with the Sunday school group. We had Sunday School at our house. We have lakes that have fish. So, we had our study by one of them and everyone went to the lake to fish for their lunch. Everyone had fun and caught enough fish for lunch. Then we went and prepared lunch. Everyone had a great time and enjoyed the time for fellowship. Kathy and I thank God for this land we live on and the area that can be used for fellowship with others.

The camp we are building is coming along. We already have three buildings covered. We can already use it for a day together. As we can, we will close the building to have camp.

We want to thank all of you for your prayers and support. God continues to bless our lives and ministry and giving us wisdom and strength each day.

Love in Christ our Savior,
Odali and Kathy Barros
