2.5 Years... Unbelievable!

It is hard to believe that today marks the halfway point of our family's original commitment to work in Porto Alegre, Brazil. 2.5 years... unbelievable! We have seen some really great things and some really difficult things. We have seen "not-yet" Christians turn their lives around and give themselves to Christ. We have made many friends. We have had many opportunities to help and bless people. We have been blessed.

We really don't know what the future holds for our family here in Porto Alegre, Brazil. We don't know for sure that this day actually does mark the halfway point of our time here. We recognize that there is a lot of work to do still. But, the Lord can and I believe will do amazing things in this city in a short amount of time.

At this point in our work here we are starting to make some transitions. We are moving away from our original "strategy" and allowing the Holy Spirit to give us new direction. It is a very exciting time!

Please pray that the Lord give us direction and wisdom in all we do. Please pray that we would be submissive to His will and purpose for us and this city. Please pray that we not limit the power of the Holy Spirit and that we continue to "think big and thank God". Please pray that we would be protected from Satan and his attacks - we expect them to come and to come strong.

We will keep on truckin' along, strong in the Lord. Thank you for your prayers. We need them and appreciate them.
