Recent torrential rains have caused severe flooding and mud slides in the Rio area. There are over 711 confirmed dead but this number is expected to rise significantly since there are still hundreds unaccounted for. Even though is has been a week, there are still many areas only accessible by helicopter. Over 20 thousand are homeless.
It's difficult for Jeff and I to be here during this crisis while the harvest field is ripe and people are seeking spiritual answers.
The video clip below was sent to us from the pastor of Luz as Nacoes (Light of the Nations) which is located very close to our home in Rio.
Please pray for our brothers- and sisters-in-Christ in Brazil!
Pray, too, for approved VISAS so that we may return ASAP to share the Good News of eternal life through Jesus Christ!
Serving together,
Diane
