Missionary Dies in Brazil

Tony and Karen Gray shared this sad news via email:

Please be in prayer for this IMB family. Elaine went into the ICU Monday morning around 5:30 with lung and kidney problems. They were colleagues of ours when we were with the IMB and Katie knew their older kids. We are just shocked with her death.

URGENT PRAYER REQUEST

When we arrived in Campinas today we received this sad news from Belem. With heavy hearts we share with you that Elaine Lambach, missionary serving in Belem , Brazil , died Monday evening, July 14th after a brief illness. Please be in prayer for her husband, Paul, and their 5 children: sons Joseph (serving in the military), Jonathan (at Union University in TN), David, (who graduated from high school this year), and two young daughters, Rachel (age 12) and Hannah (age 9). Pray for God's peace and grace to permeate the lives of this family during this difficult and
unexpected time.

Eu Sou Josivan Tavares, trabalho no Seminário Teológico Batista Equatorial. Conheço a família Lamback há alguns anos, eles são uma bênção de Deus em nossas vidas. O Pr. Paul Lamback é professor em nosso Seminário, e por isso ficamos muito triste com a morte de sua esposa Elaine Samples Lamback. Que a cada dia Deus esteja confortando seus corações.
Um abraço (josivan.tavares@gmail.com)

Using Yahoo's Babel Fish translator, Mr. Tavares' above reads something to the effect of...

I Am Josivan Tavares, [I] work in the Theological Seminary Equatorial Baptist. I have known the Lamback family for some years, they are a blessing of God in our lives. The Pr. Paul Lamback is professor in our Seminary, and therefore we are very sad with the death of its wife Elaine Samples Lamback. [We pray that] each day God he is comforting its hearts.

Josivan, I am praying for you and everyone teaching and attending the seminary.

May God Bless You,

Philip Price
