January 2014

 

 

Alessandra and I enjoying an early January snow fall in New Jersey with our good friends, Jeff and Kris Weigel. 

 

 

 

Thank the Lord with us…

•  Alyssia is six months in the womb and continues to grow strong.
•  We have been received so warmly by family, friends and churches celebrating and providing for this new little life. 
•  We received our greatest monthly support ever in December.  We sure needed that to balance the books!  We thank the Lord for His Church and for all who partner      with us in Prayer and Financial Giving!
• Alessandra's research project took a giant step forward over the past weeks. God continues to soften hard hearts along the way!

 

Please pray on our behalf…

•  Alessandra arrived back in Rio de Janeiro on Saturday.  Pray for us as we spend these next 6 weeks apart.  It is difficult for us to be away from each other- especially in light of the pregnancy. 

 

•  I remain in the United States to raise Financial support. We are at 83% of our total goal!  We are looking for individuals and churches to contribute to the remaining 17% or $1500 per month.  This increase will  allow us to continue to develop, empower and release key, Brazilian Leaders and to invest in the World Cup Outreach, The Freedom Project.    These funds will also bring us up to the salary level recommended by our mission. My goal is to be fully funded and back in Brazil by March 4.  

 

• Thursday, January 14, 2014, I will be in Madison, CT showing the Nefarious- Merchant of Souls- documentary exposing the reality of modern Human Trafficking. God is raising up a network of mission agencies and churches in Rio de Janeiro to come together in the Freedom Project against the injustice of the sexual exploitation of vulnerable children, teens and woman during the 31 days of the World Cup.  Please pray that God would reveal His heart Thursday evening and that  hearts would be transformed.   Let us cry out together that God will send justice to His chosen ones who cry out to him day and night (Luke 18:7).

Thank you for interceding on our behalf!

 

Delighting in Him,

 

Craig and Alessandra (for Alyssia)
