Ron and Kathleen Weber soon to be reporting to their Churches and the “retiring” after starting 11 Churches with ABWE in Brazil – The Pastor of the Weber’s home Church in Cresaptown, MD is asking Churches to continue to support the Webers as they go to visit their most recent Church plant in Brazil in the coming year. Pastor McBride calls Ron Weber “the David Livingstone of NE Brazil” because of all that has been accomplished in that area by the Lord through the Weber’s efforts. Ron asks prayer and giving for the new congregation at Abolicao V. The work was begun this past spring with a vibrant body of believers and a new building already finished, however, the only room for physical expansion is next door and next to a new Pentecostal Church. The Webers and the Church would like to see that land available for their expansion. The owner, seeing how popular his land has become, is raising the price. Pray and help if you can. See Weber’s Nov. 17 letter on Missionary Map display as to specifics. Praise the Lord that James has been approved to receive Social Security benefits and that he is on a waiting list for a Home in Hagerstown, MD. Want to bring joy to Kathleen’s dad in honoring his 95th birthday? Send a card airmail to Dale Johnson, Caixa Postal 1321, 62.598-000 Jijoca, CE
