We are not to play life to win. We can live well because we’ve already won. For that reason, our focus and drive should not be by a load of religious obligation and fear, but by the celebration that awaits us. In Romans 8, Paul the apostle lays this out clearly.
Our next term in Brazil looks so good. After this five-year term, Vicki and I will be in the States this Fall for four months to report to our support base. We are looking forward to seeing and chatting with many of you.
We have set the direction and laid foundations for our next term which will start January 2018:
1. Our involvement in the Vila Church will be in training church leaders to train more leaders within our congregation. Because of recent numerical growth, the church has a high percentage of new believers who need guidance in their new life in Christ.

2. Vicki will take her coaching and speaking ministries to the next level which involves more education. Using Biblical concepts, she guides and encourages groups, couples, and individuals to develop their God-given purpose for living a satisfying life. She plans to continue Voice Lessons to use her singing both at church and in speaking.

3. I will be involved in building three more congregational church buildings in the backlands and two parsonages. Next year, a major addition on our church’s auditorium and new classrooms will occupy much of my construction time. Much like this past term, I will have opportunities to speak at men’s’ events, couples´ retreats, as well as, preaching. Vicki will continue to expand her outreach to those that want encouragement and direction.
So, yes the future does look really good!
Because of Grace, Tim Reiner
