On the night of Noel's conversion he saw the Lord Jesus and experienced for himself the tremendous love of God; because of this, evangelism has always been very dear to his heart.  So when Noel and Sandra took early retirement in 1995 to work on behalf of the children, they were also free to answer calls for evangelistic meetings that he began to receive.  They had served the Lord for twenty-five years in the pastorate; eighteen in Portugal and Brazil, and a further seven in Ireland and North Wales, but now God was moving them back to Noel's first love.

   As a direct result of ministry in different areas of Brazil, the Lord placed a new challenge upon their hearts. They came across churches in need of new buildings, but with congregations with hardly anyone working and those that did with a minimum wage of around $60 a month.    One of those was in the Amazon in Maués and LAM funded a good part of the new church building there which was inaugurated in January 2002   Jim and Vina Higgins (LAM trustees) were also at the inauguration and Jim ministered for the special  services held.   As well as a church, a school is now functioning for needy  children.

     In the same year work started on a church building in Vila Alzira (Black Valley) Shanty Town near Rio de Janeiro, where LAM has already helped to build a school.  Lives have been transformed as people have met with Jesus (including professional killers), and with the testimonies they were giving many came along to the meetings and found the love of  Jesus for themselves; and the little school building, doubling as a church, just couldn't cope with the two functions.  Through the generous help of one family in particular a separate church building is going up, which was inaugurated in December 2002 and meetings have been going strong since then.
