News from Calvary Chapel Rio de Janeiro
We hope that you all are doing great and that your hearts are filled with joy to hear of the blessings that God is pouring out here. We hope that you are also seeing His blessings poured out in your lives in a very visible way.This month a group of our church members took a day long trip to a city up in the hills called Petrópolis, about one hour and fifteen minutes from Rio. We had a great time together and we got to cool off a lot since Petrópolis has much colder weather and we’re still in winter here in Brazil. We went to a museum which showed some history of Brazil and was full of things from the mid and late 1800s. We also went to see a glass palace and a German style festival. It was a blessed time!
A few weeks ago Lílian (Pastor Alexandre’s wife) and Alessandra (a girl from our church body) started outreach to the little kids that play each Sunday morning in the square at the top of the street where the leadership of our church lives. The kids and their parents responded very well. The kids were so excited to hear that they were going to return every Sunday to sing songs and do activities with them. Bruce & Renata, Russell and Douglas will be going to reach the adults.
June 2006
We have a missionary couple in our church named Bruce & Renata Pryor. Bruce & Renata moved from the city of São Vicente to Rio de Janeiro along with Alexandre and Lílian in March of this year to help in the work here. Bruce is Pastor Alexandre’s assistant here in the church. Renata leads English classes in the church. She also is a translator and helps in organization. Pray for this missionary couple.
We have another missionary that serves in our church who also moved from the city of São Vicente and is sent from the Calvary Chapel there. Douglas also moved here at the same time as the others and serves practically in the church in areas such as cleaning and maintenance. Douglas just began ministering to people in a hospital where he is a volunteer who works with people who have tumors in their bodies. Douglas is reaching the love of Christ to these people.
On Thursday nights Russell has been giving Bible studies on profecy. Last Thursday we had our second study on this theme. These studies have been a blessing and really waking up the church body that profecy is being fulfilled and Jesus could come back at any time. Let’s all be ready! Russell will be going back to the states in August as his visa is running out.
Thank you all so much for your prayer and support!
May God bless you,
Calvary Chapel Rio de Janeiro
Praises:
Praise God for the doors that He has opened up to minister in the hospital and to the kids in the square!

Prayer requests:
Pray that God would use and cause these new ministries to reach souls for Him (hospital and the kids)
Pray for our missionaries Bruce & Renata and Douglas as they continue to serve here
Pray for the Holy Spirit to be waking people up to the truth of His word through the Thursday studies and that Russell who is teaching would have a blessed remainder of his time here in Brazil
