Merry Christmas 2006

FELIZ NATAL e FELIZ ANO NOVO DO BRASIL!

(Merry Christmas and Happy New Year From Brazil!)

Mike and Natinha Poe

This year was a whirlwind with much happening in our lives as well as in the ministry here in Brazil. We have been encouraged throughout the year to see people come to know Jesus as Lord and Savior. It truly is a blessing to see the change Jesus Christ makes in peoples lives. That is why we do what we do and hope that you feel just as blessed when we pass along these praises.

God has blessed us too, in that we have many people such as you who support us and pray for us and our ministry. Thank you! You are a blessing to us. We pray for you during the year as well.

I am thinking of what God may have in store for us in 2007. It is probably a good thing that we can’t know for sure what awaits us in the future. If we knew it would be hard to encounter the struggles that we know await us, but then again if we knew maybe we could avoid them as well. What fun would that be?! I know that God has everything laid out before us and that his way and timing are perfect. It is in that mindset that we enter into 2007. Ready for the blessings and the trials that lie ahead.

Pray that God would continue to work wonders in the lives of the people here. That people would turn from the wicked and evil practices to repent of their sins and find true peace in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

God bless you and we hope that you and all of yours have a great Christmas season, and a wonderful new year.

Serving Him,

Mike and Natinha

Church Night Life

Night Life

Outreach in Taquari

On December 2, the Good News Church of the Santo Amaro neighborhood went to door to door in the Taquari neighborhood, inviting people to the outdoor showing of "The Passion of Christ." We had a good turn out and the people seemed to enjoy the film. Please be in prayer that people will come to Sunday evening services and that a core group can be formed. You can see the temporary church building is where the screen was hung from.

Prayer Vigil

The Good News Church of Santo Amaro in Palmas, Tocantins also had an evening of prayer! We went to a rural setting and had a small camp fire. Notice how far everyone is from the fire. With the temperature already high no one wants to get close to the "cozy" fire. We devoted several hours in prayer that evening, and praised God with our voices as well.
