Hobbies

Is there an interest or a hobby that you’ve had for years and never been able to find time for it? Since high school, Bruce has loved to tinker in electronics. For the past month or so, he has had a wonderful opportunity to expand his knowledge in electronics repair.

There is a small shop just a few doors away, and Bruce has become friends with the Christian owner. They are working together a couple of hours each day to get the shop caught up on a backlog of broken TVs and stereos. In the process, Bruce is learning many new tricks. We aren’t sure how the Lord will use his learning in the future but can see it opening doors to ministry on our next assignment. In the mean time, he is encouraging the owner through daily devotions together.

Last week-end, a candidate for the position of Administrative Pastor came to Igreja Batista Luz do Mundo to speak, to meet with the leadership and members, and get to know the church with the idea of being called to assume the bulk of the work. Pr. Mauro has wanted this from the church’s inception as his health does not allow him to be involved to the level needed for a growing church. His desire is to preach and leave the rest of the responsibilities with the other pastor. We are praying for God’s clear direction. This is the third candidate to be considered for the position.

New visitors appear each week and a few are returning several times. So, the members are encouraged. We see our planned exit as being the Lord’s perfect timing to move on and let the members pick up the slack.

We plan to travel 10 hours southwest to Casa Nova, Bahia the week of November 14th to look for a home to rent. We would ask for your prayers for safety in travel, and for wisdom. We should be back by the end of that week.
