Update August 23, 2010

We Are Back!

We are back from our farewell visit to Belo Horizonte. We took all four kids for our time of celebration and farewell. It was such a sweet time of reflection of all the might works that our Lord has done. Thank you for your partnership in this great endeavor. We also had to dispense our worldly goods/personal possessions that had been stored there during our year of sabbatical last year. It was tremendous work, but God sustained us and used many of our friends in Brazil to see us through. Without them we could not have completed our task in the short time we had available.

The kids are now back to school and we are settling into Birmingham, AL. As you can imagine, it has been and continues to be quite a series of transitions. Thankfully God is faithful and we can lose ourselves in Him!

Please keep us in your prayers! Pray with us:
-that we would settle into a healthy routine
-that God would meet all our needs as we seek to raise the additional $2000 of monthly support we need
-for God to continue to use us as a family to draw others to Christ and grant us wisdom to know how to use our resources

It has been a while since I've posted an update on our blog, but we have sent a few email updates asking for your prayers. If you are not getting those please let me know at rlong@campusoutreach.org.
