Festival Held to Reach Out to New People
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,
Hope all is well with each of you. We are all doing well and being blessed by our Lord.
The works are doing well and reaching out to bring new people to the churches. This month we had our festival of typical foods. The purpose of the festivals is to bring people who are not saved to know our church. We had a wonderful festival. The members got really involved and things went well. We had around 350 people who came. We had a praise time and then a sketch with the plan of salvation.
The Venezuelan couple that the husband is pastor has been of great help with the mission of Iranduba.

Special service at the festival
The work with the camp is coming along. We had a fellowship with a group of about 35 pastors to share our plans. We have had several contacts. We want to make it a place that small churches as well as large churches can have access. We also want to have special camps to reach different age groups through sports, seminars and training. Pray that God will lead us each step of the way.
Our purpose in our ministry is especially to reach out to the lost to tell them about the Lord Jesus. But also, we want to help others to grow and serve the Lord in their daily life.
Pray that God will direct us each step of the way and that lives will be reached.
Thanks to each of you for your love and support. God bless you.
Also continue to pray for God to provide a car for us that Kathy can use that holds 6 or 7 passengers.
Love in Christ,
Odali & Kathy

Venezuelan Couple Helping in Iranduba, Growth in Serra Baixa

Friday Night in Serra Baixa
June 1, 2018
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
We have had a great month and we hope that you have also! Things here are moving along in an amazing way. God has done so many wonderful things. The church and the missions are doing really well.
The church in Iranduba has had several activities going on. The visitation is doing well. We have the Venezuelan couple working with us there—the husband is a pastor. We have been letting them do several of the activities with the youth there. They are really excited. We are praying that that will continue to go well. It would be really great if they eventually could take over that work. As big as the city is, a full-time pastor would be a blessing.
We will be having the inauguration service for the church building in the community of Ubim this coming Saturday, June 2nd. We are going to take members from our other missions to help with visitation for the service.
We are excited and the team that works there are really happy to have the space to work with the kids and youth. Kathy and I will be going there Saturday nights for service since we don’t have to go to Iranduba now.
The service we have in the community of Serra Baixa on Friday night is growing. Many of the people that are coming are not saved. Please pray for us as we share God’s love with them.
Thanks to all of you who support us and the ministries and your prayers. We greatly appreciate each of you!
