Sad news and praises too!
We arrived back from the USA on September 6th. We found the church a little different then when we had left, some people had moved, others fallen away back into their old lifestyles and again others were still there praising and worshipping God.
Some really unfortunate things happened while we were on deputation in the USA. One small child of three or four years old was run over and killed by a car that was patrolling the neighborhood announcing something. Another woman who was married to a mason who worked on our Sunday School classes was also killed when she failed to see a truck coming and her motorcycle slid underneath.
We do have some positive news though, the youth of the church seem excited to change the youth program and want to have a meeting as soon as possible. Their focus, attract more youth, and make the service more geared toward youth. I couldn't agree more! If only all our churches wanted to change as easily as youth and children.
We also came to know two new families that are attending our church. One of these families won a piece fo land to build a house on in Taquari, the neighborhood in which we are planning on starting our next church. They have already stated that they want to continue working with us in that neighborhood to help bring the gospel to those in that new growing area of Palmas.
