Answers to Prayer

Thank you for praying for our ministry! God has been gracious to grant some of our requests!

I will update in order of our previous update:

1. Our departure date is set tentatively for March 31st. We must have the remaining 12% of our support by March 10th in order to confirm March 31st.

2. We will be working with Jonathan and Jennifer Reiner - missionaries with Baptist Mid-Missions in Joao Pessoa - Northeast Brazil. We will assist Jonathan with the camping ministry and looks as though we will be assuming the interim pastor position at a local church near Jonathan's ministry.

3. We have found a shipping company thanks to some missionary friends, that will ship all of our things for half the cost we had budgeted! This will free up some funds for other needs.

4. We have found some excellent insurance which will cover our needs in Brazil but also when we are on furlough and the best part - it is inexpensive - half of what we had budgeted.

5. On Wednesday we shipped out 6 boxes anywhere from 100-160 lbs. each! This past Saturday we had a yard sale and sold a good chunk! We hope to have another yard sale soon.

Things are coming together and God has been graciously working things out according to the good pleasure of His will! It is hard to believe that this is really happening! I have longed for the day we would return to Brazil and I don't deserve this privilege - but God has chosen to save us, equip us, and send us for His glory. My next post will be a chronological testimony of my life so that you might be encouraged and begin to understand Philippians 1:6 being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ."
