The Lord is Good

The Lord has been good to me the past few weeks. The survey trip to Brazil went very well. The need of Brazil is great. The state in Brazil were I will be working is the second largest state in Brazil. It has over 20 million people and 700 cities. However of those 700 cities only 15 have fundamental works in them. The team of missionaries that God is placing in Brazil have a plane to reach the state, Brazil, South America and the World with the gospel. We plan to use Formiga as a base to reach the surrounding cities. I will post pictures of the trip on my website soon.

The Lord blest my heart this afternoon during the staff meeting at Lighthouse Baptist Church. Pastor Wynn was speaking and he was talking about as Christian what we need to stand up for. We need to stand strong in the Christian life we will have battle after battle. If we are doing a work for God the Devil will not leave us alone so battles will come. The battles often come from those we trust but we still need to stand for right. He also reminded us about the company we keep, they will rub off on us we need to surround ourselves with people that want to please God. The more you hang out with the wrong crowd the more we begin to look like the wrong crowd. It is a privilege to serve under a Pastor the walks with God and is willing to stand up for right no matter what the consequence.
