Men's Day Out Fishing

It doesn't get any better than this! A day out in the country fishing with your boys! We took advantage of Will Cunningham's visit to venture down to one of our favorite local fishing holes. It was a great time of fellowship, food, and Fishing!

Thank you Jesus for fishing! Seriously, thank you for these young men! I pray you will help us all love you and serve you with all our hearts!

Father & Son Combo

I love father & son activities so it has been so much fun for Luke and I as we have played tennis together. We both recently played in a local tournament where we did pretty well for our first tournament. The pictures at left are from the awards ceremony.

It was a great way for us to meet some new people and have the opportunity to share about the difference Jesus makes in our lives with them!

Pray with us that God would draw these children and families to Himself!

Pass It Forward!

With great excitement and sadness I would like to share one of the most difficult things that has happened this year. We are having to say good bye to three dear families that mean so much to us. The Lanes, the Dowdys, and the Lutzs have not only been staff partners, but special friends and family over these past nine years in Brazil.

Although we are excited they are following God's direction and plan for their lives, our hearts bear the loss of their daily presence and friendship for our whole family. Brian Lane is moving toward ministry in Atlanta, GA with FCA. Jeff Dowdy is returning to the university to get his masters with the hope to one day teaching at the university level. Jimmy Lutz is returning to the university to pursue a career in Dentistry!

We pray God's blessings and protection for them as they continue to seek God's direction and will for their lives and families! We have been deeply blessed through the lives of each of these men and pray God will bless many, many more through them in the years to come!
