Pastor Roger recently visited Portugal, Italy, and Greece as part of a trip to strengthen existing churches and explore new opportunities for church planting. Afterwards, he jumped back into ministry in Brazil, and asked for prayer in two specific areas. First, they are starting a new ministry project of making training videos about Bible study and preaching for Portuguese pastors. Second, they held a family retreat this past weekend for the churches in Ponta Verde and Aracaju. Pray that God would use the time spent ministering to these families to grow the believers in these bodies.

How to pray

• Pray that God would bless the churches Pastor Roger visited in Portugal.

• Pray that God would help Pastor Roger as he works to make training videos for Portuguese Pastors.

• Pray that God would use the family retreat to strengthen the churches in Ponta Verde and Aracaju.
