"Grace and peace to our dear brothers and sisters of the church on the part of our Lord Jesus Christ!"

First of all, we would like to thank our great and eternal father God, the creator and provider to all needs which has given us the privilege to be
blessed by the donation that came from our dear brothers and sisters.

It is with great gratitude that we present our thanks for the help you have extended our school.  The offer of $5000 will be used in the construction
and repairs that are needed in the school.  We would like to inform you that we have already begun the construction and building of our Soccer Field,
which is something that our children have dreamed of for so long. With the rest of the money we will be building a water fountain so that the kids can
have clean and drinkable water.

Our kids are very thankful and excited to meet all of you in person one day if God so desires. They are very happy to know that their school has
received this donation from our beloved brothers and sisters who live so far away from us and yet are concerned about the enlargement of the
Kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ through our school.

We also would like to express our gratitude to Joe, our dearest son in law, for being the facilitator and bridge between us and for doing everything he
could to make it all happen.  May the Lord pour His many blessings upon him and our daughter Renata for all they have done.
Matthew 5:16

We also would like to express our special thanks to the youth group and all those who contributed to this incredible donation. May everything be to
the glory and honor of our Lord Jesus Christ.

We will be sending more photos upon the conclusion of the repairs at the school.  Thank you so much for the precious donation you made to our
school.  It's already part of the history of the Gilberto Freyre Christian School.  Great is the challenge but we praise God for the doors that have been
opened through the brothers and sisters of the church.  
Luke 1:37

We would like to conclude this thank you letter by praying that one day you will come and visit us here in Brazil, the Lord willing.  Please accept our
sincere gratitude.  

Love in Christ,

Amaro and Juvanete Pereira

May the Lord Bless You!  Merry Christmas!

Sincerely,

The Gilberto Freyre Christian School
