I Just want to share my personal testimony of how God miraculously spared our lives in the plane accident. I also want to thank God that I can close off the year with my wonderful wife and my two kids. For those of you who have been praying for us, we want to thank you for the many prayers you offered on our behalf. God has been good to us and took us through those difficult times.

SHORT TERM TRIPS

We regularly plan short-term mission trips for groups from abroad. If you or someone you know is interested in participating in one of these trips, or planning one of your own, please contact us for further information. We usually arrange for transportation to and from the airport, a boat (with sleeping facilities), a cook, permission to work in several villages, and tourist activities.

LONG TERM OPPORTUNITIES

We are currently in need of:

1) A full-time pilot to run the aviation side of our program. We are praying for a seaplane that will be able to evacuate patients with medical emergencies out of the jungle to hospitals in larger cities. The plane will also be able to deliver needed supplies to the boat.

2) A director to start and lead a school of evangelism. This school will train local bible workers to provide follow-up care in the villages we have penetrated.

Quick Update:

  • Two new families join us
  • Brad obtained his Brazilian boat license
  • We bought a second boat

What a full and exciting month November was for the Brazil Medical Launch, Luzeiro Program!  “Through the Lord’s mercy we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not, they are new every morning, great is Thy faithfulness.  The Lord is my portion, says my soul, therefore I trust in Him.”   Lamentations 3:22-24.  Truly we have been so blessed to see the Lord’s mercy anew every morning.

Pastor Ronaldo and his wife Ana Paula grew up with the desire to serve the Lord. They both grew up in Santa Catarina, a state in South Brazil. After meeting at an Adventist Camporee as teenagers, their relationship began. They were married in 2002 and headed to the Adventist University in São Paulo to obtain preparation for the Lord’s work. In 2007 they both graduated, Ronaldo from theology and Ana Paula from education. Excited to see where their “calling” would take them, they began to discuss how life would be as a new pastor and teacher. Ana Paula was certain they would receive a calling close to home and friends and family, where they could happily live and serve the Lord.

When Pastor Ronaldo came home with the news that they had received a call to go to Manaus, Amazonas, a large city tucked away in the humid Amazon Basin, Ana Paula only cried. Never had she dreamed of leaving her life, friends and family behind. Never had she dreamed of leaving the cool beautiful climate of South Brazil to go to the Amazon. After much prayer, they decided to follow the Lord’s leading.

Upon arriving to Manaus in January of 2008 they met the new challenges that awaited them. Pastor Ronaldo, a brand new pastor, was given his new district which was to include the poorest area on the extreme east edge of Manaus, in an area known as the invasion zone. This area is where people have recently cut down the jungle to establish crude, makeshift homes to try their lives in the big city. This area is where tropical diseases reign as man confronts nature: malaria, dengue, leshmaniasis, leprosy, and much more. The new and eager Pastor Ronaldo was given 11 churches that he was to pastor!

Houses on the Land    Access to the River    Puraquequara Base

Dear friends and family,

We are writing this letter out of the routine schedule of emails to let you know the AMAZING PROVISIONS of our God. We serve a wonderful God who has given us promises in His word and wants us to faithfully move forward claiming His promises. Please read the following and may all Praise and Glory go to our God who is faithful.

Since our arrival in Brazil we have been on the outlook for land on the river to serve as a base for our medical launch program. We have spent some time looking, driving all over the land that was on the river to find a suitable piece of property. Having launches and futures seaplanes, we needed a piece of land that could be easily accessed by road and was water front property to allow the boats and planes to be docked there. Our search never came up to anything worth while. We finally gave up the active search and decided we didn’t have time currently to continue looking. But we continued praying daily for God to open the door and make the right piece of land available.

“It was a trial that God allowed us to go through”
* They tell of the moments of anguish they experienced, while flying over Leon, without an airstrip,
* And the unity with their Christian family that was felt by all the injured.
José Luis González
DATE - 23:28 - 12/03/2008 - LEON

Gerardo Callazo Cardoza, 26, a Mexican member of the Seventh Day Adventist Church, and one of the victims of the plane crash that occurred on Monday, said that the moments of terror that the six crew members experienced, are part of the trials that God gave them “through the selfless love that He has towards us.”

“When we were falling out of the sky - at 10PM in Leon - I felt calm and at peace, because thank God I am working for Him and I just thought that everything would be okay, no fear! Now I am still not afraid nor have any fear of traveling by plane. My companions are also stable and have confidence to continue working because God spared our lives, and we are confident that He has great purposes for us, and we can only keep working for Him, and move forward to serve others,” added Callazo, who was discharged Wednesday from the Hospital in Leon.
