Dear friends and family,

     First of all, we want to thank you for being so supportive through prayer and conversations regarding our change from Bridging the World to Gospel Mission of South America. We see God already at work through the change. One change is with Ringwood Baptist Church, Bruno's former church in North Jersey. They were uncomfortable with a few of the details about the old mission board but since we have joined Gospel Mission of South America they had Bruno meet with the missions committee this past Monday. The meeting was very positive. This was encouraging to us as well. They invited us to participate in their missions conference the weekend of April 17-19. Bruno will be speaking at the men's breakfast on Saturday the 18th.
     Other good news is that Pompton Lakes Reformed Church has picked us up for support! Bruno's father and his wife attend this church. When the church heard about us, they immediately received the idea of supporting us with enthusiasm.
     This past Sunday we ran Sunday school and Jr. Church at Grace Fellowship Church in West Milford, NJ. It was wonderful to help the children learn more about missionaries and our ministry since the church has been so involved with us through Solid Rock Day Camp.
     Bruno started school last month and has been doing excellent with the workload so far. (I'm sure due to your prayers!) He is enjoying the learning and currently has an A+ in the class.
     As for family news, Audrey is doing well and is ready for the baby to come! Callie has been practicing her Big Sister skills on dolls and we think she will do great with her new brother.

Prayer Requests:

     1.    Audrey is due March 3rd but could go any day! Please pray for a safe delivery and a healthy baby.

     2.    Praise for 2 new supporting churches. Continue to pray for our support level.

In Him,

Bruno & Audrey Couto
