I hope that each of you is well and under the protective grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 

First of all, we want to thank God for the lives of each one of you and for Anchored in Truth Ministries for not only offering, but for shepherding us from afar, we truly feel shepherded and we can see your concern. By the grace of Christ, I together with my wife and children are well, we are managing to hold our home services almost daily and this moment is very important for our family, we also encourage each member of our church to hold their home service with a view to the day of the Lord. We ask you to pray for our children, we are feeling challenged regarding two of the Mozambican children, they have been behaving rebelliously and disobediently and this has left us a little frustrated and has affected our three younger children. These challenges are too great for us and we can only trust in the grace of the Triune God and act. This has been a challenge and a great prayer request.

Speaking of our local church, we have our challenges, but the Lord has been merciful to us and has guided us to always make decisions in a biblical way. Unfortunately, we had two instances of church discipline involving excommunication recently..., but the Lord strengthened us and together with the brothers of the church, and we found ourselves embraced and encouraged not to let our guard down against the seductions of this world and against the false believers who are within the church wanting to divide it. We also have good news, our church is still going strong, now in November we will have baptisms, new members will join, we will hold a reformation museum and a conference where we will expose the five Solas of the Reformation where we will count on the presence of Pastor Gustavo and his wife, Pastor Gustavo will expose three Solas and Pastor Enio and I will expose one Sola each, we will end this time on Sunday with lunch. 

I would like to point out that I was in the United States (USA) in October where I was invited to take part in an expository preaching conference at the Champion Forest church and after a day of missions where I was able to speak about our work here in Mozambique. I was greatly edified by all the speakers, by the pastors who received me with love and care, and by all the brothers who took great care of me. 

Our challenge has been to remain firm in doctrine and godly living. We are praying as the leadership to be able to improve our discipleship program every day, and we are already using the discipleship study material that we produced ourselves according to our local reality.

Prayer Requests 

- We ask you to pray for my family, especially for my children, that by the grace of Christ they can repent of their sins. 

- We ask you to pray for us to be able to buy land for our church. We have a big challenge ahead of us. 

- We ask you to pray for the current situation we are experiencing in Mozambique. We are almost in a civil war due after the presidential elections... Many people have already died... 

- We ask you to pray for protection for the church and for us who are foreigners. 

May God continue to use your lives.

In the love of Christ,

the Vieira family
