No Greater Love Than This....


Every day here in Rio we have opportunities to share the gospel.  We are different and stick out here! People are curious about us and want to talk to us....

Such was the case the other night when Jeff and I took two short-term interns to the airport for their departure. I began a conversation with a woman in line at the airport, who was clearly anxious and was so happy to talk to me!

She is a 71 year old widow traveling to the USA to visit her daughter, son-in-law, and 2 grandsons.  She shared that she was very nervous traveling alone. We soon realized that we live very close to each other in Rio.

I was able to share the gospel with her and learned that she believes in Jesus Christ, along with other spirits.  She attends a spiritist temple in my neighborhood.  However, she asked me for my phone number and wants to come to church with me in February when she returns!

As we celebrate the beautiful birth of our Savior, Jesus, we want to thank all of our friends and supporters who have enabled us to share Christ in this faraway land!  Your consistent and sacrificial giving to our ministry is such an awesome testimony of God's provision to us!

We have a passion to share the greatest gift of all to everyone that we meet.  THANK YOU!  We couldn't be here sharing Christ without your partnership!

Please pray that the divine appointment I had with the woman at the airport bears fruit!

 Privileged to serve,

Diane and Jeff
