Dear Friends,

Our Missionary Training Seminar came to a very successful conclusion last month. The Lord saw fit to use our 17 veterans and the 19 trainees to share the gospel and lead dozens of new believers to Christ. The remote fishing village where the team ministered offered some challenges due to its rustic culture and geographic location. The village, Guarequecaba, is only reached by boat or a 60-mile rough ride through the rain forest. Our team was happy to endure the conditions, though, to share the love of Jesus with many who have never heard. Three of the trainees are making preparations to become members of one of our new traveling evangelistic teams. Some of the others are returning to their home churches better equipped for evangelism and enthusiastic about using what they learned during the seminar.

Yago and Manoela are doing well with their work in Portugal. They minister faithfully week by week, and their church dearly loves them. As many of you know, their baby daughter, Ester, was born with some physical disabilities. In most countries, she and her family could adjust to the challenges because society and culture have sought to adapt buildings and public places with more convenient access to facilities. Portugal has not been at the leading edge of that movement and Ester’s and her parent’s challenges are only heightened. Please pray for them as they learn to navigate the world they live in with its difficulties.

In just a little over a week, I am heading out with an evangelistic team to assist in the inauguration of a new church in the Amazon. We will be going from one riverside village to another by boat, evangelizing in homes and public spaces as the opportunities arise. During our week of travel on the riverboat, we will have to sleep in hammocks suspended from the boat’s framework. I have done this before, but it has been a few decades. I would appreciate your prayers for our health and well-being, but especially that the Lord would greatly use us to bring many people to Christ as their Lord and Savior.  

In Christ’s love,
Bobby and Charlene Wacaser
