Rejoice With Us

Jerry and Lynda Neuman -- serving with ABWE in Brazil since 1984, preparing Brazilians for ministry since 1996.
The following is from Jerry and Lynda's January 23rd Newsletter.

"This six month furlough has been busy.   We have had meetings in churches almost every week and lots of wonderful fellowship with friends and supporters. And now to see that the Lord has supplied all our foreseeable needs! We have seen a total of $1,254 new monthly support pledges! A record for a veteran missionary couple of ABWE. We have received gifts large and small, all from the hand of the Lord blessing and directing His people.  Our support account is full and running over!  We have funds for a new bed which will be nice (after 19 years). We will have funds to travel to Guyana in July. We will have resources to share with others.

Before we leave here, we have a number of important things to take care for. If all goes as planned, we leave this Tuesday shortly after noon for a hotel near LAX. Early Wednesday morning we get a shuttle to the airport and fly out at 6:20am. We travel to Miami and then directly to Fortaleza.  On Friday we will travel to Natal, Rio Grande do Norte where we will attend the wedding of a Brazilian couple. We also will have time with both Nate, Rachael, Pedro and our grandkids.

Classes at SIBIMA will begin shortly after we arrive. There is a special service at the seminary for the beginning of the semester. Two weeks later, my Hebrew classes begin. Please pray with me about the preparation as it has been a few years since they had me teach this subject. Lynda will be observing counseling sessions each Tuesday afternoon and auditing several counseling classes as well as seeking God's guidance in regard to one or two women to mentor.  She asks your prayers for diligence in study as well as wisdom and guidance as to whom God would have her mentor."

Rejoice with Us,
