“Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:”                                     Colossians 1:12
Dear Pastors and Praying Friends,
 
We are thrilled with what God has done with us and through us last year. We saw people getting saved, baptized, growing in their faith. We passed thousands of tracts in our community, held our first wedding, and took on another missionary work to support. We are really amazed with all God has done with us! Praise the Lord!!!
In November, we held our 4th missions conference. Our guest speaker was our mission’s board Mission Director, Dr. Garvin Dykes. We had a wonderful time of fellowship with him and his wife Faye. During our mission’s conference the church increased their faith promise and was able to take on for support another missionary work! Praise the Lord!!!
In December, we held an ice cream festival during our teen night. Many first time visitors came, and we praise the Lord for the salvation of Jacira! The children of the church performed a Christmas cantata called “Um Rei Diferente” or “A Different King”. They did a marvelous job! We had many visitors that came and had the opportunity to hear the gospel.
January has come and gone by so fast and what we expect for this year is much more of God’s blessings in our lives and in the lives of the church here in Brazil!! We want to thank our God for your faithfulness and your partnership, for without you this could not have been accomplished!
Through all God’s blessings, we have faced as well some difficulties. Our support has decreased by about 50%, because of the exchange rate.  Some churches dropped our support and our car has given us some unexpected problems. In all, God has provided!! I thank you for sending us love gifts to help pay for our car repair.
As you all know, I will be going back to the U.S on March 6th for our first furlough. We had planned to go together as a family, but this will not be possible. The result of the university admissions exam came out and Tiffany passed for the glory of God!! We thank you for your prayers about this matter. For this reason, I will be going now in March and Marilza, Kayla, and Tiffany will be coming to the U.S. in July, after Tiffany’s 1st semester is over. If you would like to have us at your church for a meeting or mission’s conference, please let us know as soon as possible. Our e-mail is tavares_brazil@yahoo.com.br  Many churches have already contacted us, please don’t wait too long!
Again, we thank you for your faithful prayers and financial support!! May God continue to pour His blessings upon you during this new year!
Prayer Requests:
*Salvation of Many
*Continual Growth of the church
*Travel Safety
*Health
 
  Under His Care,
 
   Paulo, Marilza, Kayla & Tiffany Tavares
           Your Missionaries to Brazil
