Prayer for Baptisms

Well we are back up with one computer working. I will continue the orality series later next week -but first let me tell you about this weekend -

Wayne and I , along with Nonato, pastor of the Marituba church, and his wife Rute and Luis, Katia and Nicolas and Eval and Evaldo and maybe their families and Luis and Fatimia and others will be traveling to the towns of Peri-Meri and Capitao Poco where the two Luises and Eval and Evaldo along with others have been evangelizing discipling and leading group and individual studies. We are going to be a part of the great event of Baptisms in both towns. Peri-Meri will be Saturday and Capitao Poco Sunday, both will be in streams in the towns. A communion service will follow each group of baptisms.

Please pray for safe travel for the two vans and our car as we drive 4 hours to Peri-Meri, several hours to Capitao Poco and 4 hours home from Capitao Poco. Please pray also for those who are taking this big step of a public commitment of their faith. Pray also for those who are being trained to help lead these spiritual families. Give thanks for those who have given their time and resources and prayers through the years so that these baptisms might happen.

Thank you for all your prayers, Ellen
