British Brazilians

 

Just the highlights.

  • Our friends, the Andrionis, visited all the way from Manchester, England. 
  • We've surpassed 65% of our financial support need!
  • We had an encouraging video chat with the new CO director and his wife, Pedro and Priscila. 
Cool story: Alan worked with us in Brazil waaaay back when (2006-2007). He and his wife Junia are now ministering with Campus Outreach in Manchester, England. As we hosted them this past week, it was a great reminder of why we are headed back to Brazil - to see more laborers sent out into the harvest: to Brazil, South America, and the world! 
To those of you who recently joined our support team - thank you! As Romans 10:15 says, how are they to preach unless they are sent? Thank you for your participation in the mission with us. We literally could not do it without you. For those of you still considering making a pledge, we are asking the Lord for 30-40 more supporters to join our team and finish out our support. Pray with us that we could see an increase of 15% or more this month.

It was great catching up with the Alberquerques! Among the highlights, the staff just spent the past week in prayer before heading back to the college campus for the new semester. The church also just started a pastor search. Please pray for the elders and search committee during this important next step!
With love in Christ,

Jeff, Amy, Braden, Simon, Lucy, and Everett

p.s. We love hearing from you all. What's new in your world and how we can be praying with you?
