Thank You!!

Dear Aaron, Amy, Beth, Brian, Chris, Christine, Dan, Leah, Liisa, Luke, Kelly, Mark, Mary, Matt, Mike, Scott, Todd, Travis, Vicki, Landon and Pastor Nilo,

It’s already been a week since you are gone, but the mark you left is still here. Each of us keeps the memory of the beauty of your smile, the sound of your songs, the hard work you’ve done, the care with the seniors, the strength of the youth, the effort to overcome the language obstacles, the emotion of every hug you left.

Our church has grown with your presence. Our Congregations had the privilege of being served, more than being a servant.

The Portuguese Evangelical Lutheran Church wants to say thank you to each one of you for coming to Portugal, and for the blessed days we have lived together. In every possible ways, through the power of God, we’ll do all we can to make the seeds you’ve planted grow and produce many fruits.

Special thanks to Ron for leading Can-Do to Portugal! Your vision and support made possible the presence of this fabulous group with us, last week. Your Portuguese brothers and sisters wish you all the blessings on your new ministry at the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, in Saint Louis, MO. Come back to visit us!

Ron Scherch, Pastor Nilo Figur and Pastor Jonas Flor in Lisbon (January 2006)

May the grace of God be with every one of you in your home, study and work.

Thank you very much! Come back soon!



All of your brothers from IELP
