I wanted to introduce our amazing Brazilian family, Poli and Nega and their 3 children. Samuel 3 yrs, Poliana 9 yrs and Gabriel 8 months.

Poli and Nega have moved from Altamira. They have been walking with the Lord for the past 7-8 yrs. They have a remarkable testimony of God's salvation. Poli has been a natural evangelist taking part in the motorcycle ministry out of the Central church in Altamira. He's been all over on his motorcycle sharing the Lord with villages on the highways and byways. Now, he and Nega come excited and they are giving all they have to plant a Vineyard church here in the city. We are here to support their efforts until June/July when the roads dry out and we can head back to Maribel.

Along with Poli and Nega heading up the work here in the city of Uruara', the Lord has also called 20 year old Carlinha. She is from Uruara' and was in Altamira studying to enter a state college. She found Jesus and He has been transforming her life. He had other plans for her and she is now living back in Uruara' helping us with the work here. She has a natural love for people and a dedicated love to the Lord. We are so blessed to have her apart of this work.

In Memory of Fagno

Maribel suffered a tragedy with the drowning of 20 yr old Fagno. He died in a fishing accident March 3rd. Fagno's family is still suffering greatly and the community of Maribel is still feeling the affects. We praise God for how he ordained Clyde's trip to happen right when Fagno's father received the horrifying news. Clyde was able to comfort the family and also hold a memorial service for Fagno and all those from the surrounding villages. Please pray for Moses and Katia, Fagno's immediate family as they grieve and try to put the pieces back together again. Moses is not a Christian. We keep praying and supporting him in the Lord. May His loving kindness draw Moses to His heart.

Clyde leaves for another trip to Maribel along with Poli on Monday. Please pray that the Lord guides them and leads them to divine appointments with people. Folks there are recovering the loss and I'm sure Clyde will be a visitor welcomed after all that has happened.

Next post will have pictures from his trip and pictures of the new fence that has gone up at the church property! Stay tuned!

Thank you again for your love and support! Blessings, Kelsie
