Reaching Thousands in One Week

Update from a co-worker in Brazil! This is a great one-week outreach--needs your prayers and mine.



Bah (Hey) Gaúcho !!! Where will you spend Eternity?
Two hundred thousand tracts have already been printed and are ready to be distributed at the largest international agricultural exposition in South America, “Expo Inter,” which begins Saturday, August 28 and ends on Sunday, September 5. It is expected that more than 500,000 people will attend this event. The ministry, “Gaúchos Para Cristo” (Gaúchos For Christ) has rented a booth in Expo Inter from which we hope to reach a significant number of those people. Over 15 fundamental Baptist churches will be cooperating during those 9 days to give out as many of the tracts as possible. Last year, our first time to participate in Expo Inter, about 90,000 tracts were distributed. We need you to pray that the Lord will give us much fruit during those days.


During the last year, our web site www.GaúchosParaCristo.com.br has been visited by almost 5,000 people, with over 3,000 being first time hits. Including Brazil, 16 different countries were represented by those hits. Only eternity will reveal the ones that have been saved by their access to our site. We do know that a Brazilian man, Carlos Pain, living in Australia accessed the site, made contact with me and expressed a desire to visit. He was saved and called to preach some time ago, not as a result of our site, and plans to return to Brazil and minister here in the south. He will be here to participate with us in Expo Inter. We also know of some that have been saved as a direct result of our web site and are part of our churches. The Lord has definitely blessed the ministry of Gaúchos Para Cristo.


Expo Inter ends on September 5 and our 22nd anniversary Bible Conference begins on the 8th and will end on the 12th. We will have a preacher from São Paulo as our special guest preacher. Please pray for the Lord to be exalted and that He will bless us by working in the hearts of those who come.


Thank you for praying for these very special outreach ministries. We’re grateful for your part with us.

‘Till He comes or calls,

Roger & Sharon Crowder
