Ryan has been working with Robson as his language helper. He offered to prepare the latest installment of the student profiles.

Robson (pronounced Hobson) and his wife Aline are the only married couple in the English Bridge Program. Robson is a Physical Therapist, and Aline is studying Theology. They are from the city of Londrina in Brazil. Their caring and outgoing personalities as well as Robson’s unique sense of humor have endeared them to us as life long friends.
The life dream of this couple is to go to disaster ridden areas around the globe and bring the light of Jesus to those who have lost everything in floods, earthquakes, or cyclones as in Myanmar. Robson and Aline are drawn to Indonesia or to Myanmar where they want to begin an orphanage for children left without parents by the disasters. They have already worked with flood victims in the city of Banco De Sangue in the northeastern part of Brazil.
As I spoke with Robson and Aline their biggest concern is the hostility the governments of Myanmar and Indonesia towards foreigners and especially foreign missionaries. They are also having trouble leaving friends and family behind in Brazil (Aline especially). Please pray for this brother and sister in Christ that God would go before them to open doors, keep them safe and comfort their fears.
