Hundreds of Brazilian Students Hear the Gospel

Bobby and Charlene Wacaser have served the Lord as church planters in Curitiba, Parana, Brazil, since 1985.

Dear Friends, 

In Brazil, summer is approaching around the same time as Christmas. The academic school year ends around the first week of December at most schools, and this is where we hold most of our public evangelistic events.  

After our long 3,000-mile multi-state journey last month, our team had to spend some time doing maintenance on our vehicles and equipment. We got that out of the way and went back to work closer to our home base of operations. The Lord continued to bless with marvelous results. In one school rally, there were 634 students present as the gospel was shared through skits and personal testimonies. We weren’t permitted to give a broad invitation at the end of the session, but in private conversations afterward, several students said that they had understood the message and had given their lives to Christ as a result of what they heard.

In another session, at a high school, our team was allowed to give an invitation at the end of the presentations. There were 436 students present, and over 30 of them gave their lives to Christ. That school has a principal who is friends with the local Baptist pastor, and he allowed our team to pass the names and contact information of the ones who made professions of faith on to the pastor to visit with them and their families.  

All of our local churches are getting prepared for big evangelistic programs at their churches and also in public spaces, like malls and plazas. These events get a large percentage of their congregations involved in evangelistic outreach using their gifts, talents, time, and resources. Many of our present church members started coming to church as a result of having come to one of these events in the past. We have found them to be very fruitful and worth the effort and investment.  

We hope each of you has a wonderful Christmas holiday season. Thank you so much for another year of faithful prayers and support.

In Christ’s love, 
Bobby and Charlene Wacaser

Joy Uncontainable: 64 Souls Saved, Even Where Darkness Tried to Dwell

Bobby and Charlene Wacaser have served the Lord as church planters in Curitiba, Parana, Brazil, since 1985.

August 30, 2025

I will never tire of seeing the expression of joy on the face of someone when they realize that they have been saved by God’s grace. Charlene and I had this privilege multiple times this month as we ministered together with a team from Virginia and our evangelistic team, Projeto Vida. As we shared our own testimony, or as we translated for some American teen, we watched as God worked in the hearts and minds of many hearers. We were blessed to have 64 people profess Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior in public schools.

Before we went to one of the schools that we ministered in, we received news that we would have to be very careful not to attempt to evangelize the students openly. There was some concern from a person in an administrative position at the school who is involved in witchcraft and demonic worship. They had raised an objection to our team being permitted to go into the school to preach. We all prayed earnestly before we went and while we ministered as well. The result was that the teachers and students loved our team’s dramatic presentation of the gospel and the personal interaction with them afterward. Although satanic forces were against us, we had the joy of seeing 4 people at that school surrender to Christ. In addition to the celebration of these new believers entering the family of God, we are also encouraged by the boldness that these teenage evangelists have developed through their experience in the public arena. It is our prayer that they will trust the Lord to use them anytime they are willing to obey Him and share the gospel, in Brazil, or with their fellow students in the USA.

We are blessed to partner with some amazingly dedicated and humble servants of the Lord. We are also very grateful and appreciative to you who prays and gives so that we can apply ourselves to this mission effort. May the Lord richly bless you.

Thank you!

In Christ’s love,
Bobby and Charlene Wacaser
