December 2007

Psalm 67:3 and 5 state ”Let all the peoples praise You, O God; Let all the peoples praise You.” Psalm 86:12 is my desire * “I will praise You, O Lord my God, with all my heart, and I will glorify Your name forevermore.”

I am rejoicing and praising the Lord, my God, for His faithfulness and His provision. He has provided the financial support that I need so that I may return to Campo Grande , Brazil and continue to serve Him there and make His name known. Thank you for your prayers.  

I will be leaving Orlando , FL on Thursday, January 17th at about 11:40am , going to Washington Dulles (DC) where I am to meet up with my ministry colleague, Laura Fouser and together we will catch a flight at 9:40 pm to São Paulo , Brazil (arriving at 10:00 am on Friday, January 18th. From there we will change airports via bus in São Paulo to catch the flight to Campo Grande at 2:30pm and arrive in Campo Grande at about 3:30 pm on Friday, January 18th.

Please pray for safety as I travel, for all the connections and luggage to arrive with me, for rest on the flight, and for wisdom as I get back into the work there in Campo Grande.

Please pray for details such as car repairs-I need to get new tires, getting a phone line and electricity for the apartment, paying bills-rent, car and property taxes are due in January, etc. that need to be taken care of quickly as soon as I return.

Please pray for renewed contact with individuals with whom I desire to share the gospel message and start Bible studies * Selma , Auria, Vera, Claunice, Marilene, Mrs. Benta, Rosali, and Dani.

Please pray as my ABWE missionary colleagues from across Brazil and I will meet in Gramado , Brazil (southern Brazil ) for the ALL BRAZIL Conference from January 26-31. Thanks so much for your partnership in ministry!

Your missionary serving Christ with her whole heart,
Lynell Smith
