His name is Christian James Kokenzie. He was born July 15th, 2010, at 22:56pm (10:56) in the O.R. of the Albert Einstein Hospital in São Paulo. He weighed 2.775 kilograms (6.1 lbs) was 49cm (19.3 inches) long. It was quite a scramble that evening. We raced down the road from the church (never being able to attend the service) back to the house as Julie was experiencing unexpected contractions--contractions which spoke of the labor the doctor warned we did not want to have because Julie was to have a c-section due to her being a high risk mother. We drove through São Paulo with all our children to the hospital, making record time--about 30 minutes. When we arrived...

I was hoping to get more of this in my prayer letter, but was not able to explain with accuracy in such a short space.

It has been very difficult to add entries to the blog lately, but I did not want to fail to mention that the lawyer, Zacharias, came to church last Sunday! We continue to pray for him. In the service...

Below is a video of our evangelistic effort in the Sé Park here in São Paulo. We had a great time and were able to pass out 5,000 tracts (including last weekends effort by the subway). Thank you so much for praying for us. God, we trust, will use this effort to even further extend our website ministry. Each of these tracts concludes by directing the reader to www.ConhecendoDeus.com.br (Knowing God).

At the same time as these tracts were being passed out, we have another 50,000 more being distributed in South Africa!

Below are pictures from last weekend:

 We were going to visit the publishing house this weekend, but Jeremy's car broke down. We were also going to go street preaching on Saturday, but the weather turned sour, (not to mention, I spent most of the day at the police station--but that's another story which I'll mention below the video).

God blessed Saturday, however, and we were able to visit the lawyer, Zacharias. He is now a believer, but needs much help understanding the Bible. God granted me great liberty in speaking to him about his purpose in this life. It is such a joy to watch God miraculously work through you!

Below is a video of me teaching my first Sunday School lesson in Portuguese. It was a step of faith, and God honored it. The Portuguese was rough, but this effort really helped me and increased my confidence. Praise the Lord!
