Rejoice in
the goodness of our Heavenly Father!
We celebrate Christmas
because He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, that we might have life, and that we
might have it more abundantly (John 10:10b). And what a joy it is to be able to experience this life He has to
offer all year around!
This year we celebrated our 30th year in ministry in
Brazil, and witnessing His abundant life in the life of others makes it all
worth it. Indeed there are hardships
and trials along the way, but there is nothing more satisfying then being where
God wants us to be.
Our desire is to come and
personally share with you some of the challenges in our ministry as well as the
wonders God is doing in Brazil because of your faithfullness in praying and
giving, but we are waiting for the right moment. We are headed in a new direction in the Northern Brazilian
ministry, so it is imperative that we stay just a bit longer. We are planning our next furlough for September
of 2004. Meanwhile please keep us in
you prayers, and write us anytime at lefeber@terra.com.br.
May your Christmas and New
Year be characterized by the abundant life Jesus Christ came to offer.
