Dear Friend in Christ,

"Re-tooling." Ecclesiastes teaches us that there is an appropriate time for everything. After 16 years of work in Brazil, the time has come for me to return to the "campus" for some addition al, formal, study. My interest is in the area of Practical Ministries wherein the new insights and ideas that I gain can be integrated in a practical way
Visit of Brazilian Colleague: June 18th to July 16th. On June 18th, Justino Rosa, the minister of the Metropolitan Chapel Christian Church in Goiania and my main,
Brazilian, co-laborer in the over-all work of BCE, arrived in the U.S. It is
really an appropriate time for him to have this informative and inspirational ex perience. Justino will visit a few of our supporting congregations, a couple of Bible colleges and work with me in the booth at the National Missionary/North
American Christian Convention. His acquiring broader and deeper insights into the life of the Christian Church and Christian people who compose it should have
positive results for our work as he shares his inevitable enthusiasm with other
co-workers in Brazil.
Brazil again and the work planned out for the rest of the year. In addition to my normal work-load, a very special project is in the making, in October, a group of men from various congregations here in the USA plan to spend two weeks in Goiania doing the basic construction of a church building for a growing group in a needy neighborhood. In September, all of us in Brazil will be busy gathering the mat erials and making everything ready for the building crew's arrival. Even with volunteer labor, the estimated cost of this 24' X 60' building will still be
about US $18,800.

Thank You. And, for those of you who will not be at the conventions, let me take this opportunity once again to express our heart-felt gratitude for the regular support that you provide for our work. Knowing that God is providing the guidance and strength and that, through you. He is providing the financial means we need, we enthusiastically face the tasks of church planting, evangelism and
leadership training in Brazil.
Yours in His joyous service.
