“Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.” Col. 4:5
CONGREGATION– For over 30 years, bus stop evangelism has been a favorite fruitful part of our ministry. As in past inner-city church plants, there are bus stops near our tent church. As people wait for the bus, Bev and I witness. Busses have their own lane and usually arrive faster than autos. What a joy it will be in glory meeting those who were reached at the bus stop!
CLAUDIO– Drug and alcohol addiction is prevalent in São Paulo. Claudio (an addict) accepted Christ as His Savior and is now in a rehab center for nine months. Last Monday, Bev and I went to the center to encourage him and had an impromptu open-air meeting before leaving. Thank you for your prayers for Claudio as he finishes his rehab, and becomes a vital part of the tent church.
CAMP– It is summer vacation and 86 degrees. Time to go to camp! After many months of praying and planning, our special needs camp became a reality. “Jesus said ‘I am’” was a favorite theme for the 70 handicapped and caregivers. Please pray as follow-up is done on the salvation and dedication decisions made at this tiring but fruitful time.
CLOSING– Thank you for your faithful fervent prayers and sacrificial giving!
With grateful hearts,
Missionaries John and Bev Leonard
