Dear Friends and Family,
After five weeks in Maine with traveling back and forth, and a week back home in St. Louis trying to settle in, we are long overdue for an update! Thank you for your continued prayer for us during our travels and meetings. We had been concerned about our van with traveling about 1400 miles two ways and the meetings in Maine and we had no problems. God seemed to heal our van! It was a blessing to stay with Alan and Glauciana (my brother) and their two little ones, Jonas and Isabel. It was the first time we had met Isabel, so that was very fun. We also saw some of Julie’s family, not all though. And we stayed a couple weeks with good family friends, Ron and Vesta Porter. We had a wonderful time! And we visited with 8 churches and several supporters. There are a couple churches that are considering supporting us and perhaps some that would consider supporting us once Julie’s parents retired.
It was so nice to come back to the mission house after a long trip. This last week has been full of getting our bearings, finding where we put things, and catching up with family and friends. Todd has been working on setting up more meetings up north and in Florida. We did have our first church in Florida start supporting us. Thank you Good Shepherd Church! So we are in the process of contacting others there to see if this is where God would open doors for church and individual partnerships. Julie has been working hard at planning Michaela’s first grade school year, a new schedule and preschool with Samuel and then catching up on laundry, etc. So we are busy and happy here where the Lord has us.
We are asking for you to pray as we do everything to prepare to go to Brazil, seeking to be ready for the time when God has us go to Brazil. We long so much to go and we ask that you will pray for us for perseverance. We are at almost 78%. Julie’s passport expires next year making it a must for us to be in Brazil by December 26th. Would you pray for us that we would know when to start applying for our visas, to know when to set a date? We truly desire to be in Brazil this fall and start our language school so we can be in our ministry maybe by next fall. We submit completely to the Lord’s will and timing and pray that we are learning what He desires during this time of waiting.
Thank you all for your prayer, for your support, for your love for us. And thank you for having a passion for the ministry of reaching the lost in Brazil!
Serving Together,
Todd and Julie Michaela.
