State Champions - We had our summer tournament. We had 8 unsaved adults attending our tournament. It went well, no one was hurt and no one was upset - this is basically what we work for and pray for. Tomorrow we will have 30 teens at our house for a retreat during the very sinful carnavel time. It is about 90 degrees here now. We should start cooling off soon. We have half the funds we need to purchase a 35 passenger bus. We could have used it today, with so many kids. We also need a video projector, if you are looking for a smaller project for your Sunday school class or church group. Keep praying for us, please.

Your friend forever,

State Champions
2007


State Champions - On December 1, Central Baptist Church in Gravatai, Brazil held the second annual State Freestyle Wrestling Championship. Sixty-five wrestlers participated from various parts of the state. Central Baptist won its second state title. We had three age catagories: 5-19, 20-34 and 35 up. Carla Santos, 39 year old mother of eight, won the state title, as well as five of her children. Coach Dr.Tom Latham, 62, also won the state title in his age group. Most of the wrestlers come from the work Central Baptist Church does in seven public schools in the city. We need more singlets. If you have any used ones you might like to donate, please let us know. Our e-mail address is drtom@terra.com.br
