| Dear Ones in our MESSIAH,
Greetings from Mayville, NY. Thank you for praying. Thank you for giving.
These have been busy days as I have gone through the 24 note books of plastic sheet slide holders, my parents had in a barrel here in Mayville. Most of the note books were very full of plastic holders. Each plastic holds 20 slides. It has also been a time of many memories as I have viewed the slides of places we lived in the USA while my parents were raising support to go to Brazil, the trip on the ocean liner the SS Brazil and our arrival there. I praise GOD for the experience I had of helping in street meetings and then teaching the children’s Sunday School class as my Parents began the First Baptist Church of Sao Bernardo. What great memories of the meetings in our home for Jewish People. I have been able to organize the slides in chronological order. Many slides are being taken back to the Churches for their history.
It has been great to look back and see what GOD has done. The memory of Benedito’s salvation and the transformation in his life is still very vivid in my memory. God used this in my life and showed me not only the great need people have of salvation but what HE is able to do in a person’s life.
I am in the process of reading Dad and Mom’s news letters. These have been so very helpful as to dates of the organization of the 4 Churches and the Jewish ministry they began. I am copying some of them so that this information is on record. I still have to go back to the slides and see if there are duplicates. It has definitely been a larger project than I imagined.
I was able to share a little of this history at Sherman Baptist Church in Sherman, NY in their evening Service, July 11th. They supported my Parents for many years and are Dan and Val’s supporters now.
.
Now it is time to digitalize. My nephew Michail and brother-in-law Bill (Jeanette’s husband) are being a real help in this.
Praise the LORD Dan and Val shall be leaving for Brazil the 5th of August. Please pray for the LORD to provide the rest of their monthly support, outfit and passage. The Bet Sar Shalom members are truly rejoicing. So are we.
Dan and Val’s 16 yr. old son Danny, studied French in the Chautauqua Lake High School here in Mayville. He received a 100 on his New York State regents exam. He was given a full Scholarship to study French in Jonquiere, Quebec, Canada. He finishes his course the 6th of August. The Friends who are picking him up will take him to Niagara Falls,NY on the 10th of August. I am delaying my flight plans to accompany Danny back to Sao Paulo, Brazil. We leave at 5:11 PM, August 11th, on Delta from Buffalo, NY with a stop at the JFK airport in New York City and on to Sao Paulo leaving JFK 9:45 PM.
Delaying my flight has given me a few extra days to work on the history project a little more and hopefully finish what I need for for Baptist Mid Mission’s South Region of Brazil history of Sao Paulo. This will also give me some time with my sisters Jeanette Brumfield (in Niagara Falls, where I’ll be staying) and Barbara Quick (who lives near her) and a possible visit with my brother Paul and wife Marjean.
Please pray as I learn to digitalize these slides and use the machine purchased for this purpose. I am also writing the story of my parents for the necessary information to be on the DVD.
Remembering what GOD has done, has given a renewed desire to see what GOD is going to do at Bet Sar Shalom and in reaching Brazilians for HIM.
Thank You. Delores Woods |
