During our May travels we had the priveledge of spending one night with Brother John and Sister Alta Hatcher. Unfortunately we do not have a picture. We stayed in their home in 1999 while they were ni the US for several months. He is 82, she is 81, and they are still planting new churches in the state of Paraná. What an encouragement they are to us.

Along the same trip we visited Lucas and Josie Liachi, and family. They were our youth ministers when we left Paraná in 1999. They did a fantastic job with the youth, and added to their own family. Just one year ago he accepted the pastorate of a church, and is doing a fantastic job. Pray for Lucas, Josie and the kids.
