PROGRESS OF SAMARITAN STRATEGY PROJECTS
Harvest Brazil equips churches to demonstrate God’s will in every area of lifeHarvest Brazil plans to do Samaritan Strategy (SamS) projects in each of the twenty-seven states of the country. Through the work of local teams, we are present in five states. We would like to acknowledge their efforts and invite you to pray for them.Bahia: Feira de Santana, Km 100, Brejoens, Sapucaia, rural villages
- Herivelton & Celia, Diego & Leidy, Pedro, Humberto & Eva, Adilson & Ninha, Eduardo, João
- These pastors are learning to connect with their communities while dealing with environmental problems, like water supply. The teachings of biblical wholism have helped them to proclaim and demonstrate the lordship of Jesus over creation and steward natural resources.

- Clayton, Paulo, Edison, Maria Celia, Marcos, Sergio Kaoru, Negumi e filhos, Jonatan e Noboro
- Business as mission is a major topic for this group of professionals seeking to answer the question “Where can we have the most differential impact for the Kingdom?” Their enthusiasm is contagious, and with courage, they have overcome many difficulties to obey their callings.

- Steve & Nilza, Angelo
- With wonderful hospitality, team members reviewed administrative procedures, measured results, and sought answering the question, “What is the best way to channel God’s answers to our communities’ problems?” Moving away from the allure of flashy numerical results, they discussed ways to qualify the work of discipling followers of Jesus, and were energized seeing how much God has done in their midst.

- Cleiton & Eleuza, Cefas & Rosali, Diógenes & Gabi, Givonete, Juarez & Rosa, Leo & Rebeca, Celso & Ivone, Dilma, Douglas, Ivonete, Jonas, Sergio, Sonia
- They prayed for Givonete’s health –may the Lord bring quick and complete healing– while Diógenes took greater pastoral responsibilities at the Family Church. May the Lord continue to protect, provide, and bless each one with His wonderful peace.

- Marco, Jackson
- This is a new project, where we are integrating new members and thank the Lord for the expansion of Harvest ministry in Brazil. We anticipate that this team will offer opportunities where people will recognize the power of the gospel to bless those who are invisible in society, like the deaf.
