Jim and Lydia Johnson were both born in central
Kansas, but did not meet each other until they studied at
Calvary Bible College. After graduation from college with a
degree in missions they were married and then joined the Brazil
Gospel Fellowship Mission.
Although they have served in other areas, most of their time has
been dedicated to the church-planting ministry in the Lower
Jaguaribe River Valley. This is a huge interior section of the
state filled with cities that have little or no Gospel witness.
The Johnsons have been involved in planting churches in the
Jaguaribe Valley cities of Limoeiro do Norte (Pop 50,000);
Quixeré (pop 35,000) and plan to begin a new church plant in
2005 in the city of Morada Nova (pop 68,000). Please pray with
them as they start again from scratch in a new city. Pray also
for more workers to minister in the region. Plans are also being
made for the beginning of a retreat center and mini Bible
institute for the region.
