Please celebrate with us the engagement of Michelle Williams with Anselmo, one of our Brazil national staff. We are so pleased for them and pray God will bless them and lead them as they prepare for their union!On the housing front - We have been frantically looking for a new home for our family. Our landlord needs his house back for family reasons and we have to be out and return the home by 10-17-2007.
Since rental prices are so high in Belo Horizonte and we foresee our time table here at least five more years, we have been looking into the possibility of purchasing a home here instead of just renting again. However the current Brazilian economic reality here has prevented local mortgage financing from being a current reality for us. We have begun investigating possible opportunities back in the USA for financing and some supporters have already donated some funds to help us develop a better down payment. Thank you all so much!
Please let us know if you would like more information about how you can practically help with our house!
Due to our time crunch we will seek a rental situation that will give us additional time to look for a house to buy and financing to afford it! Please continue to remember us in your prayers! We have found a rental house that could serve us in the short term. We have made a proposal to the owners and hope to have a response by the end of the week! Mean while, we will continue to pray and seek God's will to be able to invest in a purchase!
This week is also our annual Staff Stimulus! We are very pleased to have an opportunity to all come together, seek God, unite our hearts, and reflect and give thanks for all that God has done! Out of the 37 adults participating in this year's Staff Stimulus 14 will be participating for the first time, or on staff for their first year with Campus Outreach Brazil! Wow! That's quite a bit of growth! Praise God!
Thank you for your prayers and support!
