The Reiner ministry is church planting and evangelism in Joao in Brazil.

August 2008

Furloughs are busy but very blessed indeed.  What a joy to once again renew acquaintance and to fellowship with people and churches who have faithfully supported this ministry for so many years.

In July the BMM annual confernece in Cleveland, Oh was a particular blessing.  I received a pin and certificate for 40 years of ministry in the land of Brazil.  And I am not finished yet!  As soon as possible I will be returning to Brazil to continue to serve our Lord there.  But allow me to tell you about another great blessing of the BMM conference.  Ray’s brother, Harold, received his pin and certificate for 60 years of service in Brazil.  A lifetime of service.  What a challenge to all of us.

Please pray for Lucia down in our congregation in Jacuma.  She has left the church and is becoming involved with an unsaved man.  Do pray that the Lord would change her heart.

July is camp season down at our State Camp in Joao Pessoa.  It is a lot of work but a great blessing to see the Lord working in the lives of children and teens.  My son is the present camp director, and he does a great job.

Jeff, another son, is on furlough from Brazil along with his wife, Ivana.  Pray for them as they need to raise more support before returning to the field.  Jeff and Ivana are busy visiting their supporting churches.  Because I no longer have Ray, they are helping me to get around to my churches as well.

I am looking forward to visiting all of you who so faithfully support me. 

In His service,

Jan Reiner
