FIEL .... once again, faithful!

"... Committed to the faith that was delivered to the saints..."

Based on verse 3 of the letter of Jude, the Editora Fiel has, year after year, made a wonderful work in its purpose to put resources available to the Church of Jesus Christ, in various situations and locations, in order to cooperate with the saints of God that form it.

In particular, I have been richly blessed by this ministry, since the first contact I had with these dear brothers in 1999. It wasn’t different this time.

Last week the Fiel held here in Portugal the 9th Conference for Pastors and Leaders. These were days of refreshment, fellowship, worship and, with all its importance, food for our lives. Reviewing dear brothers, share our joys as well as difficult times in our ministries and be able to hear persons who have dedicated their lives to the proclamation of the Truth, pure and simple Truth of the Word of God, is always a great gift. Once again, I was very blessed.


Watch the speeches and see the photos

As in previous years' Conferences, in Brazil and here in Portugal, where I had the pleasure of being accompanied by special brothers who always enriched my life with the simple fact of being at my side, this year Pastor Alex Branco held that post. We could talk, laugh, share theological positions, finally, develop our friendship and our fellowship. It was a very rich time.

I encourage you to seek more information from the Editora Fiel and learn more about these beloved brothers.

Earlier this week, we still have been gifted by the Lord with the arrival of our sister Katharine, from Brazil. She gave us the privilege of staying with us and bring joy with a captivating way to show the love of Christ in her life.

Despite the short time we had (Monday night and Tuesday during the day), we walk a little in Sintra and Cascais. She also had the opportunity to attend, with Cláudia, a prayer meeting with the ladies of the Evangelical Baptist Church of Cascais.

It was very good to talk, make the update of the news and to share what The Lord has done here to keep us up and at the same time allow us to show the world who is The Lord of our lives and how much difference makes to serve Him whit all our heart.

Katharine has been a blessing to our lives around our living and for us was a real honor to have her in our house .... despite the 4 floors that she had to go ... no elevator (hahahaha).

Thank you for visiting my beloved sister.

We continue here with the School of the Bible and the Course "Be an Approved Worker" (Portuguese Bible Institute). This has been a great blessing to me in particular. I have seen how the Lord has "shaken" with the hearts of students in various aspects. Some have already decided to continue in his theological training in order to graduate. For me, be the instrument in God’s hands for this is a great privilege.

It’s all for while.
See you.

PS - Keep helping me with the english grammar. Thanks
