Paul is fruit of the Word of Grace Mission's work in Brazil.  In 2004 he joined the Mission and in 2005 had the happy addition of Mariana in his life and ministry.  Starting just after their wedding in October 2005 they have been working with the church in Araraquara helping in its organization, and at the same time Paul is finishing his Bible Institute training.  Presently Paul is filling a temporary pastor position in which he is helping to teach church structure, and leadership, which is the last stage in a missionary's work.  They would like to expand this ministry to help other existing churches become self-sufficient so new groups can be started from the established churches.
