I am now back in Belo Horizonte, Brazil for six weeks.
Since I have arrived on Wednesday, I have had the opportunity to see Pr Jose, Leoni and the family. Words cannot express my joy in seeing him. God has been faithful and has done some miraculous things in his body. We are continuing to stand in prayer for him. It is an honor to serve such a couple who has faithfully served the Lord over 40 years.
There are other objectives in my time here in BH.
** I have already been back to the English Institute for some follow up instruction with teaching English as a second language. I received such an warm welcome back from Rita the director as well as from the teachers and students. I have already learned some good things and I look forward to more conversations. Next week is the last week before the official vacation time begins for the month of July so the Lord's timing has been perfect once again.
** I am also spending time with Nayara during this time. I will be ministering at her church in Joao Monlevade two times on Saturday (tomorrow) and two times on Sunday. I will be continuing the English lessons for her and for the rest of the time it will be Portuguese Immersion for me! I am looking forward to this time with Nayara so we can get to know each other better. We were talking last night now good it will be to spend time praying together, talking together, and hearing each other's stories in the Lord. This time will be important as decisions are made for the future.
Because of the nature of this trip, there will not be sharing many pictures etc as with the other earlier trips. I want to respect Pr Jose's privacy so I will not be posting specifics at all. Just join us in prayer.
I will keep you updated as needed.
Thank you for your prayers during this time of serving Pr Jose and Leoni as well as during this time with Nayara and ministry opportunities. I am so grateful for your support and prayers! God is at work!
bless you!
