flood update

 

Update from Pedro on flooding. Thank you so much for your prayers. Please continue to intercede for Belo Horizonte and our people. Last night's rain (Tuesday) was even worse than the one from Thursday/Friday last week. At least 53 died and thousands lost their houses, cars and many more. Again we are safe and we live in a higher area of the city, outside of the risk area. Here are a few English articles to help you understand our current situation: Powerful Storm Kills 47 in Brazil Heavy rains and floods leave dozens dead in southeastern Brazil Brazilian city experiences deadly flooding after 32 inches of rain falls in just 27 days In Christ,  Pedro Alberquerque It's hard to know how to pray when things seem so desolate. But let's pray the words of Paul to Timothy, "for I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that he is able..." (1 Tim. 1:12). God is trustworthy and more than able to fulfill his purposes. Let's pray that God works mightily through the church through this storm.   Let's pray for Pedro and Priscila as well. They've been laboring with Campus Outreach for several years and recently transitioned into leadership for the ministry in Belo Horizonte. Pray that the Alberquerque's would find their strong foundation in the Lord as they lead and care for the CO staff and disciples in Belo Horizonte. We so enjoyed our time with them during our last visit and look forward to joining them, hopefully, in July!  We are at 43% and climbing! Also, thank you to those who reached out after our last update!   Pledge today!
