'My heart finds rest'
Brazilian missionary Marcelo Silva thought his leukemia was in remission. On a visit to the USA he found out otherwise and he is now awaiting a bone marrow transplant.
Marcelo and his wife, Rute, have worked with the Kuripako people in Brazil for many years. The couple was recently invited to share their ministry in a church in Denver, Colorado, and to tell of their battle with leukemia.
While in Colorado, Marcelo came down with a cold and it was discovered that his leukemia had returned full force.
Marcelo has been receiving treatments in a Denver hospital while a search is underway for a bone marrow donor in Brazil.
"In spite of everything," Marcelo said, "my heart finds the rest that it needs in the marvelous all-powerful God. He continues to direct our steps. How marvelous is our God, and what immense pleasure for my spirit to adore Him and call Him my Father."
Please pray that a donor will be found and that Marcelo will be strong enough to travel.
Marcelo’s hospital expenses are mounting and he has no medical insurance in the USA. If you would like to help with his expenses, please send your contribution to New Tribes Mission, 1000 E. First Street, Sanford, FL 32771-1487. Please include a note that it is for account number 801839.
