Holiday with Family!

 

                   January, 2013

 

Alessandra and I spent the holidays with my parents in South Carolina.  We were able to rest a bit and enjoy the wonderful company of family.  It was great to have my sister, Beth, and her family with us too.  Now we are back in Brazil and preparing for a wonderful year of Ministry.

 While I was in the United States in December my colleague, Jeff Droogsma, and I met with our Latin American Leader, Brian,  to discuss and plan our 10 year and 3 year goals.  One of the significant outcomes of our discussions was our commitment to invest in Brazilian Partnerships.  This is based on our deep conviction that God is using the majority world to take the Gospel to the unreached Nations making disciples both formally as missionaries and informally in migration patterns. 

We are empowering and releasing Brazilians to impact lives with the power of the transformation Gospel here in Rio, Brazil and beyond.   As we make disciples here in Brazil, teaching them to obey everything that Jesus taught us and the whole council of the Word of God we are excited to see them "going out" !

These past days, as part of my preparations for a new year, I have been buried under my Navigator resources refocused on the "handling" of the Scriptures- Hearing, reading, meditating, memorizing and studying!  This year we will begin a new inductive Bible study ministry called Path Ways  (search the scriptures) that will impact leaders and their preaching preparation.  We will start with the book of Jonah because of its strong Redemptive theme!

 

Here is a list of ministry activities that we are involved in these next several months.  Please pray for God's grace and favor to abound!
