Dear friends and brothers in Christ, may the peace of our Lord be with you. The rebuilding of the school is almost finished, we had the support of some parents who volunteered to help and some others we had to pay. This construction was very important for us, because we could make some contact with the people of that area, please pray that we will be able to testify God´s love in that place. Also continue to pray that God can provide finances to finish the painting and furnitures,
We are very happy to have an african couple coming to Sunday service, please pray that they will be able to grow stronger in Christ.
During Easter service we were able to share more about Jesus, watching the Jesus movie in Pulaar and eating lunch together with some friends.
Our prayer group continues to provide special milk for premature baby - Lucie - she is healthy and gaining weight.
We have also started 2 agricultural projects, with 1 couple planting in the church´s compound and 5 young moms in our house... as we work together, we seek opportunities to share God´s love and pray for good crops, so they can raise good money to support their families.
Good byes - We felt blessed to have our niece Camilla helping for 3 months with kids and women´s ministry... we had lovely family time.
Also for 3 weeks spent with Stephan a short term missionary, who helped with the rebuilding of the school and kids ministry.
Matthew and Rebecca Paik also left after serving the people of Benoba for 7 month in social projects.
Welcome - Sujin and Misun arrived to work for 1 year serving Christ in educational and health projects.
Continue to pray for us as a family.
In Christ Lucie, Paulo and Miguel

Renovar ... Renew.
As misericórdias do Senhor são a causa de
não sermos consumidos, porque as suas misericórdias não têm fim; Novas
são cada manhã; grande é a tua fidelidade.
Because of the Lord’s
great love we are not consumed, for his
compassions never fail. They
are new every morning; great is your
faithfulness.
We want to express our gratitude to our family, friends and brothers in Christ that made possible our furlough to Brazil during the months of November, December and a bit of January. Big THANK YOU for our Pastor Elandi Mariano da Silva for inviting us to participate 2013 Mission Conference, to our Mission secretary that liaison making this journey as smooth as possible. To all that contributed finacially to our plane ticket.
We came back refreshed spiritually, how wonderful it is to be part of the Body of Christ.
We came back to Senegal together with Camilla, the new Project Ephraim volunteer, she will be serving for 1 year - women and kids club.
Our 2 Korean volunteer Su Young and Hee Won from Better World will be leaving Senegal this month after serving for 1 year educational and health project.
Keep praying that God will reveal Him self through dreams and vision to our people.

God is Wonderful, He has guided us, sustained us and renewed our strenght each day. We serve a God that is able to do MUCH MORE than what we have asked. He know all the desires of our hearts and satisfies them according to His will. All we can do is kneel before His presence and adore Him.
Last year we received a request of partnership with a NGO from South Korea, from the same Church that came for the BLESSING SAHARA, called Better World. One of our work in the village is related with health so we explained how the Health Center function and the needs for medication and how the volunteers survives. We are very glad because they have agreed in providing medication and a food basket for each volunteer.
During the month of April we will be working together with the Youth from the village to clean up the rubbish, before the rain season starts as part of Malaria profilaxy.
This month Hee Won (nurse) and Su Young (teacher) have join our team and will be working with Project Ephraim for a year. Paulo is building a house for their accomodation.
During Easter morning we had a special breakfast and the opportunity to show the Jesus movie to our group of people that have been listening to the Bible in Pulaar. That same day another person asked to watch the crucification of Christ.
"And the LORD will continually guide you, And satisfy your desire in scorched places, And give strength to your bones; And you will be like a watered garden, And like a spring of water whose waters do not fail. Is 58:11
Miguel spent 3 weeks of Easter holidays with us, doing lots of things that he normally can’t do at school.
We spent a lot of our time organizing for the arrivel of a German Bible School, they will come for an outreach as part of their training.
Next letter I will give more details.

We would like to thank all our Brothers, Sisters, friends and anonymous that have supported us in prayer and financially, you have been such a blessing in our lives. Your support has given us strenght to move on. Our God he knows your heart and intentions, He will reward you.
· Please continue to pray that the Lord will give us health and strenght to continue His work. Safety on the road as we travel to pick up Miguel at school.
Miguel has adapted well back in BCS, we are still suffering for not having him close to us. It is nice to be able to bring him over for the weekends.
· We have been sharing the Word of God with a small group of people who comes to have breakfast with us, most of them never heard the scriptures before and it has been a special time, because God is touching their hearts. It is a 100 bible lessons in Pullar language.
· For the ministry at Benoba, the work never seems to finish. But God is gracious to us, next month we will receive 2 South Korean Ladies to help us with our work with the children and health care. And a 14 people from a Bible School in Germany coming for a 15 days Outreach. Please pray that they will be a BLESSING to the ministry and the people from the village.

We have been blessed with the visit of our Pastor Elandi from Marilia Brazil, during 3 days we were able to share our ministry with him. He brought us words of love and encouragement. The church gave us a Solar Pump for the agricultural project, we had been using fuel before but it was very expensive.
In August 2011 we started Project Ephraim, a dream that God put into our hearts to share His love with the Pulaar people by doing social work. We placed our desires at His feet.
5 strategies of work for the Benoba village. And no ressources.
Now 2013 ------ God is Faithful and He will continue to do His will at Benoba
Continue praying for us and together we will reach the unreached of this land.
In Christ
Paulo, Lucie and Miguel.
