Dear Praying and Supporting Friends,
Praise the Lord we have had a good return to Brazil. Since our return, we have had a family and two 12 year olds start coming to the church. We have had a number of people come to Christ. we are praying for the salvation of the family that has begun attending. Bruno and Aline are from a background of Presbyterian and Congregational Church. They are very confused about salvation. we have spent many hours answering their questions and are praying that God will break through the confusion soon.
This month I was privileged to preach a creation conference in Limeira for one of our fellow missionaries. It was a great week and we were able to answer many questions. While at the conference we were able to get out another set of our homeschool curriculum. This particular family is going to use it as a backup support system to help their children while they stay in the school system.
Brazil just had their presidential elections. On the morning of Election day, I went to the church and offered free coffee to those going to vote. This has brought us two visitors, already. Evanilson has come because of this. He enjoyed the services and is wanting to bring his wife. Vera came as well. She was able to get answers she was seeking about eternal security. It was a real blessing.
We thank the Lord for the positive results of the election. We are now praying as Bolsonaro, the new president has promised to make homeschooling legal. continue to pray this will happen and without government restrictions.
Rebekah had a rough month after we arrived. She had some serious dental issues. Some of the problems have been resolved but there is still more that must be done. Thankfully we got a recommendation for a good dentist from a trusted source. Thank you for your prayers.
We wish you all a very merry holiday season. Thank you to those churches who have given for our church property. We are still in need of finances for this project if your church would care to give. Send the funds to BIMI #1212 Property.
In His Service,
Bryan & Rebekah Johnson
