Dear Friends and Family,

Your ministry partners at Amazon R.A.C.E. are very appreciative of your prayers. 

Please remember Rebecca Lee (daughter of Bill & Sylvia Lee) on her 18^th birthday, April 1st.

Our first obedience-based discipleship seminar at an interior church is April 3-5, at Igreja Batista Urucurituba (Urucurituba Baptist Church).  This is one of the few communities in the state where driving is an option (until the last 24 miles).  Our plans are to take a taxi or bus since interior roads are notorious for being rough.  We will leave “bem cedo (very early)” on the 3^rd in order to arrive in Urucurituba by late afternoon (it is only 168 miles by road with the last 24 miles by ferry).  The training will be an expanded version of the obedience-based Treinamento Na Igreja Radical (Radical Church training) used at Igreja Batista Manancial (Manancial Baptist Church).  Please pray for your Amazon R.A.C.E. team as we travel and for your brothers and sisters-in-CHRIST in Urucurituba as well as the lost, that will hear Bible stories from their neighbors.  Ask the LORD for a movement of His Spirit in this river community. 

In HIS Grip,

Your Amazon R.A.C.E. Team

Dear Friends and Family,

 

Your ministry partners at Amazon R.A.C.E. are very appreciative of your prayers. 

 

Please remember Tiffany Epps (wife of Aaron) on her birthday, March 25th.

The Assemblía da Convenção Batista do Amazonas (Amazonas Baptist Convention’s annual state meeting) is March 24-28.  We will have a booth at the convention and a video during the closing service.  Please pray for GOD to place Amazon R.A.C.E. together with like-minded pastors from interior communities throughout the state of Amazonas (a state larger than Texas).  Ask for wisdom as we seek remote areas to send out workers into this vast harvest field of GOD.

Dear Friends and Family,

 

Your ministry partners at Amazon R.A.C.E. (Radical Approach to Church planting and Evangelism – known in Brazil as Radical Amazônia) is very appreciative of your prayers. 

 

Please remember Emma Epps (age 6) on her birthday today (March 17).

 

March 18-19 is the first Treinamento Na Igreja Radical (Radical Church training) by Amazon R.A.C.E.  We are leading the Igreja Batista Manancial (Manancial Baptist Church) in two sessions of obedience-based discipleship.  The first evening, everyone learns the Bible story of Mark 1:35-45 about JESUS curing the leper.  Each participant and leader is challenged to tell someone (not in the training seminar) this story prior to the second session on Thursday.  The Thursday session begins with a celebration time as people share what GOD did when they shared the story with others.  Please pray for your brothers and sisters-in-CHRIST as they learn a Bible story for the express purpose of telling it to others.  Ask the LORD to prepare their listeners.  Ask the LORD to grant the participants boldness to tell GOD’s story to others.

 

In HIS Grip,

Your Amazon R.A.C.E.

New Praise and Prayer

Hello Everyone!  We've got some serious praise reports for you this time!  First of all, God has blessed us immensely recently by helping us find a boat that is in good condition, is the right price, and has all of it's papers for everything, even the motor!  

Our team is also taking it's first community finding mission tomorrow morning.  We are going to a community to meet some of the people there and see if there is also a need for missionaries.  We're praying for safety, to find a man of peace, and that God will use us in one way or another.  

Join us in prayer and in praise on these things and we'll have more for you later!
