Dear Friend,
The last several months has been very hard on us. We can feel that the enemy is constantly trying to do his dirty work that he always does-stealing, killing and destroying!
We are seeking after the Lord for encouragement and hope in what we are doing here in Brazil. Many times we feel like packing up when the pressure is so much. When the seeds have been planted feel like they are taking forever to sprout up and be beautiful.
One thing that seems to encourage us is seeing these kids, like we did last week at our Children’s Day party, all of them singing praises to the Lord, praying fervent prayers, and all being very well mannered, polite, and thankful.
We ask that you lift us up in your prayers. We won´t deny our discouragement right now, but in telling you we ask that you pray for us and for the small prayer list that we have noted down.
We pray that all is well with you. And thank you for being a blessing in our lives and the lives of the kids here!
Shining the Light,
Junior and Steph

LightHouse Pagapaio
Pray for Workers
The family that was living inside the LightHouse Papagaio, Marcelino and Jozibel, have moved back to their hometown due to a death in their family.
Since they have left, Stephanie has been doing the daily teaching to the kids. Which on one hand has been refreshing to be able to be in direct contact with the kids again.
On the other hand, we are in desperate need of more workers. The cost and time for us to drive daily to Papagaio, which is downtown, creates other difficulties. With the other responsibilities of homeschooling Natalee and Peter, administrating the two LightHouses, as well as the maintaining communication with our friends and supporters back home, keeps us very busy.
So please be in prayer with us for more workers in the LightHouse Papagaio.

Children´s Day
At LightHouse Recreio
Natalee and Peter help out with the devotional lesson
You would think that a Children’s Day party would have lots of screaming, playing, receiving gift–well not at our party this year!
The kids have been studying about world missions in other countries this month. At our party Pr. Junior gave his devotional and we noticed such a seriousness from the kids. As we could all feel the presence of the Holy Spirit, we prayed and anointed the children.
Praise God for his precious peace and presence among us, which is an eternal gift!
By the way, our LigthHouse Papagaio kids got to join the party!! They had a blast!
