Joinville, Brazil, September 2017
Dear supporters and prayer partners,
As I think about the days gone by I am reminded of Gods perfect goodness and grace through every season of our lives in the ministry that He has called us to fulfill.
Through seasons of troubles and pain, God´s goodness remains perfect and gives us peace in the midst of each storm. His marvelous grace is ever so real.
Through seasons of triumphs and pleasantness the same is true and just as perfect and real.
So today I write this letter with joy in my heart for all the many blessing God has bestowed upon us and His work here in Joinville, Brazil.
This past June we celebrated the first anniversary of the Second Victory Baptist Church, located in the Adhemar Garcia neighborhood. We were blessed by the participation of the other sister churches and with several first time visitors as well. God was honored as the Gospel was preached and people heard the Truth of God´s saving grace.
July was a busy month with many activities as well. God gave me the opportunity to translate the messages in a conference in the nearby town of Jaraguá do Sul, in which one young man was gloriously saved. To God be all glory! July also marked my precious wife Soraia and my 29th wedding anniversary. We are so grateful to God for blessing us with each other and for giving us our four wonderful children, Matthew, Priscilla, Stephanie and Frank.
The highlight of August was having my father, Dr. Phillip Allen here for 9 days preaching and teaching in our church every service and spending every precious moment possible together with our family. And during this time God also saved a young lady in our church named Miriam. She is growing in the Lord and learning to play the guitar to help in the music at church. Please continue to pray for her and her family that has been coming to the services for the past three months.
As we look ahead we do not know what this season will be like, but this we know, God is with us through each and every moment and He will remain with us till the end. Praise His name.
Thank you for your prayers for us and for your faithful support of our ministry.
Yours for souls in Joinville,
James & Soraia Allen
