Robert and Mary Jo Foster Update

Family, Friends & Supporters,

Mary Jo and I want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your prayers in recent months! My health has improved significantly following the two surgeries. My doctor told me earlier this month that he'd see me in October. I am feeling much better and resuming most physical activity, just in time for spring and summer yard work.It has nevertheless been a busy couple of months since my second surgery both here and in Brazil. I have continued to work on ministry projects.

A new worldwide project for implementation field workers (IFWs) is being developed, and EE-Brazil plans to participate. Too, there is a new plan for developing Kids' EE, using IFWs and partnering with another ministry.In Brazil, five The Gospel In Your Hand Workshops have been held this year. Just this past Saturday more than 400 people were trained in a Workshop held in the interior city of Volta Redonda in the state of Rio de Janeiro. Several more Workshops are scheduled, in addition to 4 training clinics.

In a couple of days, I will be leaving for Sao Paulo. Many things have been planned for while I am there...perhaps too many things, but I am sure it will all work out. We will be counting on your prayers! Please pray specifically for the following requests:

• On May 2nd, we will be training some Workshop leaders on site in a workshop in Sao Paulo.
• On May 3rd, we will be at the Brooklyn Baptist Church in Sao Paulo to recognize 25 years of exemplary EE training and ministry.
• On May 9th, I will be leading a Workshop at a Baptist church in the city of Rio de Janeiro.
• On May 10th, we will be in a couple of different churches in Rio to promote evangelism training.
• And, in between these events we'll be working on projects and making contacts.
  

During all of this time, please pray for Mary Jo, too...safety and no mechanical problems with cars, appliances, etc.Thank you for your faithfulness in praying and financially supporting our family and ministry! Feel free to share prayer requests with us, as we'd consider it a privilege to pray for your specific needs, as well!

"Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful."

-Hebrews 10:23

Blessings,
