Gospel Outreach to the Unreached
September 30, 2025
Dear Friends,
Two of our newest church plants held evangelistic events recently and the Lord blessed with wonderful results. Beyond the great attendance, the lives that were transformed by the preaching and teaching of God’s word greatly encourages us and our ministry partners. Pastors, Daniel and Cledson, along with their dear wives, Nany and Fabiane, pour their time, energy, gifts and resources into the work with joy and enthusiasm and the Lord has truly blessed that. Just as in the USA, the next few months of the year will be filled with holidays and special events. Their churches will be very actively planning and putting together programs designed to get the gospel to as many unreached people as possible. Please pray for the success of these outreach efforts.
I (Bobby) have the privilege to do “mission work” in the USA among a group of Brazilians who have legally moved to Virginia on work visas. They have specialty jobs building Volvo semi-tractor trucks. A dear friend and ministry partner, Rodrigo Ferreira, and his dear wife, Carol, have evangelized and are teaching a good-sized group from Brazil under the leadership of Jared Via, pastor of Hope Valley Baptist Church. This group has grown continually, and I will be speaking at an outreach program designed for couples. Although they all speak English as a second language, I will be preaching and teaching in Portuguese, since that is their heart language. Quite a few of those who will be in attendance are not evangelicals, so my focus will be to share the gospel as well as teach God’s principles of marriage.
Our traveling outreach team had a very fruitful month of ministry. They worked in three cities on the western side of the state of Parana, Brazil. In all, they shared the gospel with over 5,290 people and the Lord blessed by bringing many of these to repentance and salvation. In every school where they minister, a questionnaire is given to the leaders and administrators. In it, there are options for comments and suggestions. As I read those comments, I couldn’t help but notice that these are coming from public schools, and there was not one negative statement. In fact, all of them show gratitude for our team’s presence and impact on their schools. We will only know in heaven just how many of the students and faculty fully surrendered to Christ, but we are certain that there are many. May the Lord continue to use and bless Projeto Vida with these outreach opportunities.
In Christ’s love,
Bobby and Charlene Wacaser

Julio Boldly Shares the Gospel with Teens
July 2, 2024
Dear Friends,
Julio is one of our missionary volunteers who travels with Projeto Vida, our evangelistic travel team. Julio is a quiet man, usually not speaking unless spoken to. This changes, though, when he gets a chance to talk about Jesus. Recently, after our drama team performed some gospel skits in a public school, Julio was talking one-on-one with a teenaged boy. In just a few seconds, a whole group of the boy’s friends circled around to listen to what they were talking about. Julio saw the opportunity and sensed that the Lord was leading him to share with them all what Christ had done for them. He presented the gospel clearly and persuasively for several minutes. When he finished, he asked the whole group if any of them was willing to surrender their life to Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. Fourteen teenagers’ hand shot up and they each confessed Christ as Lord right there in the school gymnasium! I am so thankful to have a part in Projeto Vida’s ministry and for young men like Julio for the boldness and spiritual insight to follow the Lord’s leading in presenting the gospel.
Pastor Cledson continues to lead the church in Curitiba in growth and outreach ministries. He has shown tremendous wisdom and awareness of God’s leading through some tough trials. There was an influential young man in his church who attempted to lead several other youth in an erroneous direction doctrinally, but Pastor Cledson was able to exhort the youth group as a whole using the Scriptures to show the fallacy the young man was trying to spread. The young man refused to repent of his error, but thankfully, the error was stopped from spreading on to the group through Cledson’s mature handling of the situation.
Yago and Manoela are still ministering faithfully in Portugal. Manoela still hasn’t received notice about her permanent visa, but they have Bible studies weekly with several believers and share the love of Christ through their daily contacts with the Portuguese people.
Charlene and I will be heading to Brazil in a couple of weeks to minister alongside Projeto Vida with a group of youth and their leaders from Virginia, USA. A couple of our old friends from Brazil, Rodrigo and Carol, have been teaching these young people some pantomime skits that we use in our public-school presentations. They have been practicing for several weeks and, when they arrive in Brazil, they will have the chance to perform these skits before the student body in several schools. Charlene and I will serve as translators, among several other functions, for this fine group. We ask that you pray the Lord will open hearts to turn to Christ.
Thank you so much for your faithful prayers and support.
In Christ’s love,
Bobby and Charlene Wacaser
