News from Pastor Geraldo, Belo Horizonte Brazil

"By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days” Hebrews 11:30 Good evening dear friends, Again we had a weekend so blessed in our church. On Friday evangelism in 7 square was wonderful, many people professed Jesus Christ as Savior. Hallelujah! On Saturday morning a breakfast with women, and it was very special. The sister Aldinha shared the Word of God and was very uplifting. Yesterday in Sunday School, the Charles Hamilton continued with the study about "sataniologia" and once again it was so enlightening. In Worship, praise, supper and the music spoke very special to our hearts. The message I shared on Hebrews 11:30. I talked about walls that we build into our lifes that requires obedience to the Word of God to them totter, see below. I also shared about the walls that the enemy build to prevent our walk with God. If God will not destroy, He will makes us jump the wall as in Psalm 18:29 "For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall” Already available to special music and message on our site: I think if you take a time and watch, you will be very well built. Sending some photos of our final semana.http: / / www.ggwobrasil.org A bigger hug, Pastor Geraldo, Elaine, Isac, Joel and Natã.

Brazil - Dear Ministry Friend Passes Away

Heritage Bible Chapel received the following news today from our ministry partner, Pastor Geraldo Oliveira of Belo Horizonte, Brazil:

Good evinig dear friends,
I received a sad news today, sad because of the miss, but happy because he is with God. My dear friend Pastor Leonardo lmeznar, went at the Glory last night at a church in Pennsylvania on a mission event. He suffered a heart attack when he was preaching and went to be with the Lord in glory. Pastor Leonardo lmeznar was a great friend and collaborator for many years. He came on several occasions to Belo Horizonte, to visited Sr. Fernando Claussen who also was his great friend and brother. Together, we visited the synagogue, both the traditional as orthodoxy. He had a vision for missions and for more than four years helped my family financially, now nearly 90 years, and serving the Lord went to glory.

At the evangelism on the street earlier this year, he was there with us, with his advanced age, but on the street sharing the gospel. He had a great love for the Jewish people. For many years kept a little farm in Rio de Janeiro where
he used to received the Jews in order to share about their Messiah. He was one of the translators of the Hebrew to Portuguese of the Trinitarian Bible. Actually he was a great friend.
Please pray for his family. The relatives know he is in glory, but feeling the longing ache, pray that God comforts your hearts. He went to glory last night in a church in a missionary event and exactly yesterday I shared about the heavens and the return of Jesus Christ. Sending some pictures of the last time Iwas with him this year and last year.

A bigger hug,

Pastor
Geraldo.

Ministry News and Photos from Brazil

Pastor Geraldo continues his evangelism outreach at Belo Horizonte in Brazil (see pictures below). He writes:

Good evening,

We had a week of hard work here on Belo Horizonte. Our faith has been repeatedly proven, but God has been very gracious to our family and church. A testament of the care of our God was last Monday, after much work with our car and with little gasoline, our fuel ended up on a street with many cars in Belo Horizonte, cars honked behind us, Elaine was with me . But I also had another problem, had no money to buy gasoline. By faith, I pushed the car to the side of the avenue, and went out walking and praying for 15 minutes until a gas station near you. The Elaine was also praying in the car. We ask God for a miracle. We pray that God would move the heart of any brother at that time to deposit some money in our bank so we could supply the car. Arriving at the gas station I phoned the bank again to check the balance and see if the answer of God had arrived. To my delight someone had deposited that very moment, R$ 200 (or U$ 130). I bought petrol and returned to the car running, I put gasoline and after then the car started flow. Hallelujah! Glory to God!

On Wednesday talking to a brother of Florianópolis on skype he told me that on that Monday he was in the bank to make a payment, but the card did not work on self-service, so he had to go to the clerk to pay a account and at that moment he remembered me and my family and had a great desire to put an offer to us before pay account. He did that at exactly the moment that Elaine and I were praying for help for gasoline. He concluded by saying that after making the deposit, the card self-service back to work. When I told him that this offer was the response and provision for us at the moment, he was much edified with the testimony and thanked me. I who had to thank him, but he thanked for having been used by God in that situation. God be praised! We are experiencing the greatest needs in these days, but we're full steam ahead by doing what our God has called us to do. Yesterday Elaine and me got our afternoon in the hospital with sister, Arlinda. She suffered a infarct last week. Yesterday we visit her in the hospital afternoon and were a very blessed time. Pray for her, because she will probably have to pass a heart surgery.

The evangelism today was very blessed; we were me, Elaine, Joel and Natã, many people professed Jesus Christ as Savior. Hallelujah! Please pray with us for evangelism that we will do next week with material for the Jews, to the day commemorating the Jewish New Year.

Pray with us for a provision for our family, we are going through hard days and we need a bailout.

Sending some evangelism photos. Thank you for your love and prayer.

A bigger hug,

Pastor Geraldo, Elaine, Isac, Joel and Natã.
