To you, our beloved family and friends... To you, who have prayedfor and with us throughout these more than 60 years... even before wearrived in Brazil on March 28,1948... we send greetings and ourappreciationWe have been blessed these st six months with opportun it ies to eniovtravel, ves.^. and tu he insnired through attending4he World^Conventionr-of Churches of Christ in England and seeing friends from around theworld. We visited Scotland and Ireland. .. and in Germany visited Sofia,a cousin of Lloyd David s mother (Nabholz) in Ravensburgh...(just daybefore yesterday, Jeorge ,a nephew of Sofie, telephoned from Germanyand he and Ruth had an interesting visit speaking German... he iscoming to Recife and wants to visit Starla and Kid s Place)...Also while inGermany, we stayed two days with Dr. Scott Caulley and the Insitute ofOrigins of the Christian Church in Tubingen.

In November, 2004, we participated in the National Convention ofBrazilian Churches of Christ in G^iania, Goias and then spent three daysresting in Caldas Novas, Gjoias (Hot Springs).In January this year, we spent 12 enjoyable days in Recife,Pernambuco (Northeast BrazU) with Starla Joy, Luiz Carlos and theirdaughter, Kalinka and family... visiting churches and Kid s Place. It washeart-warming to see the children brought off the streets and fromsniffing glue to be able again to relate to their families, to be fed, clothed,taught... many coming to Christ. Starla and Luiz Carlos are asking forprayer for these children and iheh: parentsJThey are also askingfor prayerfor their LivingandServiceLinkneeds. Prayer is also neededfor theconstruction oftheir new buildingIn February, it was Youth Congress in Silvania, Goias where 51years ago, Lloyd David, Ruth, Starla Joy two years old & Nivalci (alsotwo years old, daughter of a leper, waiting for us to find her a Christianhome...which we did nearly a year later) stayed three months in the hotelwhile we were opening a new work. Fifty one years ago, Silvania was acompletely Catholic town of some 1,800 population. We had heard thatmissionaries and persons of color were not allowed to stay over night intown. It was formerly a gold mining area, but when the gold ran out, the

town continued with a Monastery for priests and nuns and al l schoolswere under their supervision. Today, there is a population of 18,000...two Christian Churches and a couple of evangelical churches.There were over 3000 voung people t the Congress.. We went with

the eleven r caravan of voung people f rom Bras il ia and these 40 voungpeople treated us like loving grandchildren all through the Congress...couldnT do enough for us. Several other bus loads ofyoung peoplewentf rom the Federal District, Goiania, Sao Paulo and other areas.As to March and the future, we are continuing in our voluntaryministries... Lloyd David, though slowed down to lower gears, serves inan honorary position as president of church board. He leads a ^should bemarried'' cell group in a new suburb. Several living together coupleshave made their decision to marry. He continues to keep a deposit ofBibles for sale or distribution. He is alsoworkingwith some business menfor helping to set up Christian technical schools , suppl3dng new jobsand opening new cities to new churches in these schools.Ruth, especially with the elderly in the local church, is leading aThursday fellowship, worship singing of hymns period. She also hasa special ministry to the wives of the preachers in the area. .. We are infairly good health... a problem here or there... but trusting in the Lord

We look forward to June, when Maria Joyce and Luiz Fernandoand the three children, Marcelo, Rafael and Fernandawill be visiting us.After which we are planning, if the Lord permits, for us to be in theStates, possibly from August until November...

October 5, 2005Dear Supporters ofBrazil Christian Mission;This is a personal plea from the Board ofDirectors asking for your IMMEDIATEhelpwith personal funds for Starla and LuizAzevedo. We do not understand just howthis came about but through her generous heart, Starla has borrowed money from loansharks to help her family and is now going to loose her car and have the utilitiesturned offat her apartment.The Azevedo s are in desperate need of 20,000.00 immediately to pay off thesedebts. We are asking you to once again help us to meet this need. Starla asked for us toget a loan so she could pay this off, but she has nothing for collateral for a note. The onlything we know to do is ask for your help.Starla is always willing to help anyone that needs help, even when she has toborrow money to help them. We have tried to impress on her that she can only spendwhat she has on hand. We, as the board, do not have the funds to give her what sheneeds. Our church, Anthony Christian, will do what we can, but we are asking if the restofyou will helpus meet this need. Together we hope to raise the 20,000.00 needed.Hopefully there willbe some individuals that can make a major donation or anunsecured loan for some of this amount. With the economy as it is now we can only hopefo r a miracle at this time.Starla sent a very depressing e-mail last week-end. She has 4 families dependingon her for support. The director ofKids Place was badly burned in a home accident andwill not be able to work at BCids Place for a time. Starla is juggling hinds there to coverthe bills due 10/01/05 at Kids Place.Please plea^help us find thefunds to get Starla out of this terrible situationD^d and Ruth Sanders^e in the United States at this time trying to raise personalsupport for Starla, but that won t be in time for thisEMERGENCY.We also ask for your prayers that funds my be found quickly to take care ofStarla s financial problems.We sincerely appreciate your continued support and prayers.Brazil Christian Mission Board o f Directors
