Being able to make friends and build relationships is an answer to Regina Klassen’s prayers as she learns language and culture in Brazil. She is becoming more and more familiar with Portuguese and making progress. Despite the frequent language barrier, God helps her time and again to be a witness for Him! What a gift!
After returning to her home after three weeks of travelling a yellow scorpion ran out from underneath the laundry basket in her bedroom. (Yellow scorpions are among the most poisonous scorpions in Brazil.) She was able to deal with it and thanks God that she was not bitten by it.
Recently Regina attended an encouraging conference for missionaries. 1 Timothy 4:16 was the key verse/theme. She had a wonderful time! It was a huge privilege for her to be able to talk to the missionaries who worked in the tribe she chose for her project on the mission’s course at North Cotes. She spent six months researching this tribe, gathering information, etc., the tribe is still unreached.
Regina and her class now have individual lessons… the aim is to support everyone according to their language level.
Regina is thankful for:
The blessed conference (conversations, contacts, encouragement, challenges, etc.)
God’s protection
Friendships
Progress in the language
Please pray for:
Wisdom about which tribe she can visit and when
Wisdom about where exactly she should go after her time of language and culture studies
That fear does not control her and that she is not guided by fear
That she can continue to learn and retain what she has learnt
