Robert and Mary Jo Foster Update

Family, Friends & Supporters,

I want to give you a quick 3-point update, since we are in perhaps the busiest month of the year for all of us.

1. EE-Brazil ministry: On November 29th, we held our second The Gospel in Your Hand Workshop at a church in Salvador, Brazil. I'm still waiting for confirmation of the exact number of participants, but it is believed to have been more than before and in the neighborhood of 650. That means that in November we trained, in how to use one's hand to share the Gospel, about 1200 leaders in two seven-hour Workshops at this church! And the church has at least another 800 leaders they want us to train early next year!!

We are grateful to see this fruit from a two year project to get these new Portuguese materials translated, published and field tested in Brazil. As in the first Workshop in Salvador, one of the participants felt sufficiently equipped to share with a lost couple there at the church, and both husband and wife accepted Christ! How Great is Our God!!!

2. Regarding my health: My urologist called last Thursday, suggesting that he refer me to Emory Hospital/Healthcare to be evaluated by someone in their Urology Department. (For those who may not be familiar with Emory, it is a well-respected hospital in Atlanta and is in U.S. News & World Report's list of top hospitals in the US.) While waiting for this to be scheduled, I am able to continue working at my computer, meaning that ministry projects are still moving forward. We'll appreciate your prayers that the doctors will be better able to understand what is going on, in order to recommend a good long-term resolution.
