BRAZILIAN CHURCHES WANT TO SEND

MISSIONARIES TO PORTUGAL

Portugal Christian Mission rejoices and announces that Robert and Derlani Fife and four children are making plans to arrive in Portugal by
the end of 1987.

The Fifes v^ere in Brazil "praying real hard about giving full time to the ministry," and we v^^ere praying for additional workers who could speak Portuguese. "Pray to the Lord of the harvest and He will thrust out
workers into the harvest field."

Both conventions are now history and what a convention!! We spent

10-12 hours a day at the PCAA booth and were happy to have Tim, Dixie and Sarah Thomas join us for part of
the week.

God has blessed the

40,000 +

at the communion ser

vice was a wonderful experience. Reaffirmation of our oneness in Jesus

was a repeated theme in messages and workshops. Hundreds of friends came by and
we were able to see brethren and co-

workers we hadn't seen for years. The booth was a frequent meeting place of the Fife clan too. And we praise God for former PCAA workers Cheri Oakley
and Paula Harford Rahmanian who
also visited us.

Portugal work with some fine men. Bill and Ginny Loft are over-seeing and participating when possi ble, but the men are doing most of the preaching, teaching, calling, and bap tizing. Several VB5 pro grams will be held this summer. Pray that God will strengthen each of the
men for each task.

WE ARE BACK IN PORTUGAL, PRAISE GOD!"

How wonderful it is to be "back home" in Portugal. On October 7, TWA's LlO-11 landed at Portel, Lisbon's main aiarport at 4:30 a.m., 1V7

hours early. Many were praying for us that day and all went well. We

cleared customs and greeted our brothers that were waiting for us. Thanks to God and to all of you that prayed for us. Please keep us before
God's throne of grace.
