<div class="p3" style="background-color: white; color: #606060; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px;">
Dear Friends of these Amazon Ministries,</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #606060; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Segoe, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 12px;">
FURLOUGH is defined as - “a time of change of activities that result in the recuperation of energies, and involvement in ancillary activities.” Damaris and I have been enjoying time with family and friends, and recuperating our energies along with special visits and sharing reports about the work in the Amazon. It has truly been a time of rest and a good change from our regular activities in Brazil.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #606060; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Segoe, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 12px;">
<br />FURLOUGH LIVING - We have been living with Mom Lankford and enjoying special times with her. At 95 she is in need of some help with her everyday chores, but she is still independent and talks much about many experiences in her life. It has been good for us, since we have been so far away all these years in Brazil. And these special family times are great since all of our nearby children and grandchildren, who are not very distant from Greenville, SC. Mom´s home is a special place and we are glad to be near her, and we try to keep our travel´s so that we can be with her some every week with special travel on United Airlines through our son, Tim (who also lives with his wife, Samua, in a new home behind Mom).</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #606060; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Segoe, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 12px;">
<br />CONSTRUCTING – We thank you who have been involved with the Mt. Zion Baptist Church construction in Itacoatiara. Pastor Terres and his congregation are continuing with the new metallic roof now in place, and stuccoing the walls, and improvements on the property. Also, some work is continuing on the Sunday School classroom building, and the recently started pastors house. Pray for this continuing work, and the salvation of souls as a result of this new ministry. We are planning a trip soon to accelerate this project with some of your financial gifts.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #606060; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Segoe, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 12px;">
<br />CAMP MARANATHA – Along with having a new family living at the camp (on a temporary basis), we want to continue helping to raise funds to finish the construction of the recreation and snack bar area started last year. It would be great to have the steel roof in place for our camping season January through March, 2014. This project will take about $9500.00 to complete. It will give another area for small group meetings, videos, games, and </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #606060; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Segoe, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 12px;">
competition among the teams at camp. Also, a well staffed and equipped snack bar will really benefit afternoon and evening activities during the camping programs. We are trusting the Lord to help us complete this project by January so it will be usable by the campers and staff.<br /> </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #606060; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Segoe, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 12px;">
ORGANIZATION & REORGANIZATION – of camping programs and staffing is always critical. We thank the Lord for those who have shown a special interest in this ministry: for the operation, and functionality of the ministry along with the local churches around the camp. You may recall that we organized a Maranatha Camp Counsel to </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #606060; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Segoe, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 12px;">
assist in the programing and development along with the mission station. Please pray that these men and women may be used of God to effectively assist in developing and directing this ministry for God´s glory! We, and the mission family in the Amazon, need to know the Lord´s leading for serving youth and churches in these latter years.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #606060; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Segoe, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 12px;">
<br />FUTURE TRAVELS – A six month furlough every two years will not allow us to visit all of you, our supporters, but these months we will be traveling in Michigan, Indiana, California, Virginia, and South Carolina. And we are encouraged by your interest in us and these ministries! We thank the Lord for you who have continued to be involved with us these years in praying and help with these projects. And although we are retiring from Baptist Mid Missions, we are continuing in the work - returning to Brazil in November, living and working at Camp </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #606060; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Segoe, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 12px;">
Maranatha, and helping the Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Itacoatiara. BMM will continue serving in the same way, too, with receiving funds for our ministry, handling taxes and government liaison, and maintaining your church mission interests. Pray with us for these changes and our Amazon projects! Thank you for your prayers and support for </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #606060; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Segoe, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 12px;">
Damaris and me, personally, too. We look forward to seeing many of you, before we return to the field, this Fall.</div>
<div class="p4" style="background-color: white; color: #606060; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px;">
<br />Sincerely for CHRIST in the AMAZON,</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is a busy time and we need your prayers for getting ready for the camping season. We are building a new dormitory, and hope it will be ready for the 24th of this month. We need to set up the camp staff and need to finance some travel for sharing the ministry with young people. Also we are still receiving some monies to assist some JUNIORS and ADOLESCENTS with half of the camp fee. This is encouragement and we are thankful to many who have helped.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Also pray for John /swedberg who had a heart attack yesterday. He is in southern Brazil with church planting ministry and our mission business.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thank you for your support and e-mail contacts too. May your ministries reflect your love to reach others there, too.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sincerely for CHRIST in the AMAZON,</span><br />

It reminds her of close family ties that have been broken over the years, and how people’s busy lives now don’t have time for one another. “It’s just too hard,” she said, “to see the good among so much bad in the world.” I could feel that she <b>watches </b>or <b>hears </b>too much bad news. But remember that the news of the coming of the Christ Child was the “<i>good tidings of great joy, to all people</i>,” as the Bible says. That gives us new hope for mankind and a future for all saved people with the Lord. But oh, how so many are preparing for this big holiday here in the Amazon, without the Christ of Christmas!</span><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;"><span style="color: white;"><b><i><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">CRIANÇA FELIZ </span></i></b><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 8pt;">(Happy Children Club!) </span><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">This ongoing ministry for 14 years celebrated a special CHRIST´S birthday program with visitors and special guests.

As friendships were made and communication gaps were overcome (Portuguese) it was an exciting time for both the Mount Zion Church folks, and Beulah Baptist members, working at the construction site. At the closing service before the group left for the States, hearts were broken and many shed tears as the time came to say, “good-bye.” E-mail addresses were exchanged with the promise that both groups would keep in contact with each other. We thank the Lord, too, for our <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Baptist Mid-Mission´s</i> family that helped in different ways with the Beulah Church, and for the many answers to prayers those days.

We also have material from the <i><span style="color: maroon;">Wilds Christian Camp and Conference Center</span></i> in Rosman, NC. They recently developed the Camps Abroad program <span style="color: blue;">(www.campsabroad.org)</span> with Matt and Ken Collier as a dream of Dr. Kenneth Hay. Training materials are being prepared in Portuguese, and an effective and vibrant camping program is being planned for early next year. Pray that the Lord of the Harvest will give us a great and safe camping ministry next year here at the Urubú River. Also there is the possibility of some helpers from the US, too.
