Reflection of 2008

Greetings-

The year 2008 has been a year blessed by the LORD. We were are rapidly approaching 2009 and have so much to thank the LORD for. In 2008 we had our "National Portuguese Evangelism Conference" in Tiverton, RI. It was a wonderful conference with many first time attendees.

During the conference much networking, passion and vision casting was made. It was at the conference that this blog was developed.

Following the conference a vow was made by many to see the Portuguese Speaking brethren united at all times. We pledged to be in consistent prayer and contact. WOW, what a challenge this has been from brethren from Azores, California, Boston, Rhode Island and Portugal. However, we have made it and are stronger and more united than ever.

Much time, energy, prayer and dedication has been made by each to this blog. I appreciate the efforts everyone has made in making this ministry a success.

Please continue to pray for all Portuguese Speaking Nations and Brethren. Keep the faith. Guard it , Live and Love it.

GOD has given us his power (Holy Ghost) and the unity of the brethren. We can do all things through him because he is hour strength.

I would like to thank our Elder (Rev. Joe Domingues) for his burden and passion to see the Portuguese Speaking Brethren united. We love and appreciate Elder and Sister Domingues.

Special thanks and love to Rev. Lee Frombrach who is currently in the Azores ministering to those in need. His support and contributions are appreciated.

To Rev. Daniel Ocana (California) who through his friendship and encouragements motivates me(we admire you).

To Pastor Arruda and the wonderful church family in Rhode Island. We love and appreciate each of you.

To Pastor Joe Pinheiro (my Pai) and the church in Los Banos, California (may GOD continue to bless you daily). Then all the way to Portugal to Pastor Martins and family (we pray for you daily). It's a blessing to be able to have friends that desire to see revival in this time.

Let's lift up the name of the LORD daily for all that have taken the mantle of revival amongst the Portuguese Speaking People.

To God be the Glory.....

Blessings,

Rev. Jesse Pinheiro
