Dear Friends,

Your gift is vital for this ministry, and I have no words to tell you how thankful I am for your generosity.

I want to give you an update of what is happening with out ministry.  I am still working as hard as I can on building the financial team for this mission.  But there has been a change of plans.  i strongly blieve that Angola is the place where God has called me to go, and that has not changed.  But as I have told some of you before, Angola is one of the most expensive countries in the world, according to Time's Money; and I can assure you, we have been able to experience this fact within the short term mission trips we have done here.  So, I, in accordance with the people on the BMA Department of Missions have decided to stay here in the states a while longer in order to gain time to keep working on raising the money.  While I am getting all my financial resources, I will be attending the BMA Theological Seminary in Jacksonville, TX.  I am taking this as an opportunity from the Lord to get more education in order to fulfill one ofmy visions for Angola, which is to plant a Bible Institute.  I am also seeing this as a gift for me to grow more in the image of Christ and to better prepare my wife and kids for what we are going to face once in the mission field.  But the main reason we are staying is because of the time we need to expand our chance to get more partnership.  I truly understand this decision will probably affect the decision you have made of being part of this mission.  I encourage you to continue giving to this mission; this changes is not to decress, but to imporve our financial team.

As you think of us this month, here are important prayer requests: please pray for us as we keep working to raise the money, for the people that will hear about this mission so God touches their heart, and for me because I am still unemployed and looking for a job.

Your brother in Christ,

Bradney Lopez
