Good News My Friends, Praise the Lord

We have good news to share. The end of the year is not here and with those gifts that those have promised and those that have already come in we will no longer be closing the year in a deficit. We are so thankful to everyone who gives toward our ministry and makes it possible for us to share the love of God in such a far away place. Thank you also for your prayers as they are what help keep us protected, strengthened and cared for properly.

We have exciting end of the year news to share with you but the time is short right now. Look for new things to appear between Christmas and the New Year.

Blessings to you all, and a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

Missions Year Ending 2005

It is that time of year again as we begin "running" (maybe literally) to get those last minute things done before the Christmas Eve is upon us. We are running here as well trying to get all those last minute details ready for Christmas. As we rush around I hope you can take some time to remember the reason for this season, Jesus Christ. We have been busy ministering here in Brazil and reaching out and telling others about the love of Jesus.

Don Dennison has informed me that our support is in the red
$ - 5,158.26. He also told me that many missions organizations have felt the impact of hurrican Katrina as many felt led to give to those in need.

Individuals or churches who could give $100, $500, or maybe even $1000 would help make up this deficit before the year ends. It would be nice to start the new year without a negative balance. Of course any size gift is appreciated. I hope that you will prayerfully consider this request.

God bless you and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all,

Mike and Natinha Poe
