September 7 Prayer Request for the Gáucho People

Please pray for R. and A., church planters in a desperately poor slum on the outskirts of the city of Porto Alegre. The church plant started several years ago, and has met in homes, a public school, and rented facilities. They are currently meeting in a former grocery store. R. and his wife A. have moved into the community and immersed themselves in the struggles and day-to-day lives of the people.  Please pray that they will be able to build relationships which will enable them to share the gospel and establish a solid foundation in Christ for the work. Pray that this church plant will soon begin to birth other church plants and that R. and A. will be encouraged and stay strong and holy in the Lord.
