“That ye should shew
forth the praises of

light:”
I Peter 2:9
Serving In The Country Of Brazil
Dear Friends and Supporters,
“Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for
me?” Jeremiah 32:27. Of course, we know that this was a rhetorical question. The
obvious answer is, NO, nothing is too hard for God. Yet, often we as Christians
forget that there is nothing too hard for God. I have heard many pastors and
churches tell me in recent days that this is the most difficult time in recent history
for a missionary to raise support. Jobs have been lost and people’s futures are
uncertain with respect to income, retirement, and cost of living. But the Scripture
tells us that if we are in a right relationship with God that He “shall supply ALL
your need according to his riches in glory.” I believe that God is just as capable
today as He was yesterday and shall be forever more. Perhaps God is using this
time to re-teach those of us who are His children to rely on HIM instead of the
circumstances of the world.
We thank the Lord for His working over the last few months. While our
support level has not changed from our last letter, God has done many other things
this summer. Let me start with VBS. We were involved in helping with one
Vacation Bible School in June, as we indicated in our last prayer letter. We then
helped with two others in the month of July, one at Southside Baptist Church in
Biscoe, NC and another in our home church of Temple Baptist Church in
Lewisville, NC. At Southside by the end of the week, 5 (4 children and an adult)
indicated that they had received Christ as Savior. Praise the Lord!
We have also travelled much during the last few months. Since the first of July
we have visited churches in North Carolina, West Virginia, Georgia, Virginia,
Illinois, and Florida; and covered more than 8,000 miles on the road. We have
even seen souls saved through some of our meetings in the churches. Praise the
Lord! God also continues to protect us as we travel and we thank Him for it. Pray
that God will provide support from some of these churches. We hope to push past
the 50% mark of support soon.
Kyle is growing so much. He will be a year old in a little more than a month.
Thank you for your prayers for our family and our health. God has blessed and has
kept us all healthy. We are truly grateful for all of our prayer partners in the work.
We could not do what we are doing without prayer. Continue to pray.
We will still be travelling a lot during the next few months, though not as much
as during the summer. We will pick up some more at the beginning of the year.
Pray for God’s continued protection. We pray that God will supply our support in
full by next year. Please pray to that end so that we might get to work in Brazil for
His glory. Thank you for your prayers and for your support.
Serving Christ and Others,
Jon, Tonya, and Kyle Harman
