More from Gordon Woolard – Theological Training – French

April 9, 2008

Dear Supporting Colleagues,

The spider isn’t meant to frighten you. Nor make it seem like I was in a dangerous place. It’s just a three-inch spider who clung to the wall next to me for four days while I taught in Gonaives, Haiti a couple of weeks ago. He’s one of God’s fiercer looking creatures.

The class for thirteen fellows (not counting the spider) on Bible interpretation went very well, by the way. Thanks for your supporting prayers. Haiti still needs enormous help from the believing community to rebuild itself. I have great respect for the dedicated UN troops who keep law and order. Read the rest of this entry »

April Prayer Letter – Arrudas in Brazil

April 2, 2008
 
Dear Loved Ones,

We trust you had a wonderful Easter, a special day to remind us of our God’s unconditional love and the blessed hope we have for the future, when we will be in His presence for all eternity – (2 Cor. 5:15)

We are happy to report that our computer and modem are finally working again. Wow!! We never imagined how much work they do for us and how limited we are without them.  We would have to go back to handwriting!
 
We are all doing well as a family and in ministry.  The school year, which in Brazil begins after Carnival, has started up now, and I (Marilda) am back to teaching at the village on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and also giving Bible studies to the women in the churches.  Onesimo is teaching Bible to the leadership here in town, using the Dallas course, and he also continues at the Newspaper. They are studying the book of 1 John and seem to be very interested in the truths of God’s Word.  We would love to see conversions in that group.
