More Flooding in Brazil

I just received this article from USA Today about the most recent flooding in Brazil--this time leaving approximately 20 people dead.

What got my attention was that it happened in Maceió, the capital of the northeastern state of Alagoas. Jim Leanoard, who has been featured in a couple of entries on this blog, has a brother who is planting a church in that precise area. John and Bev Leonard have spent most of their missionary career in and around Maceió. Please remember to pray that God would keep them safe, and give them opportunities to advance the Kingdom of Christ during this dangerous and tragic time.
