What a mighty God we serve! We began this process of getting to know God in this new ministry last October with all kinds of thoughts and questions. What used to be called deputation (which seems institutional and impersonal) is now more accurately called pre-field ministry. We feel like we have been the ones ministered to.
How
exciting it is to report that our promised monthly support level now sits at 50% of what we need. God truly has done wonderful things through you and we give Him thanks. Our outfit level also continues to grow, also almost 50%. We are so blessed to hear from many of you and encouraged to know that you are partnering with us in the critical job of reaching the lost for Christ.
All of this means that reality continues to set in. When we reach 80%, we will be able to begin applying for a visa for residency in Brasil. We also begin to think more seriously about learning Portuguese, packing bags, and saying good bye.
There is no such thing as wasted time when living the life that God has called us to live. We give Him thanks for Psalm 139:17, 18:
How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!
How great is the sum of them!
If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand;
When I awake, I am still with You.
