Hitting the wall?

"For I know the plans that I have for you, says the Lord..." (Jer 29:11) We all should understand that truth, but when the plan is not clear in terms of the details or the timetable, its easy to get impatient! About now, according to our original plan for this home assignment, we should be making airplane reservations for our return to Brazil. God clearly has a different schedule in mind since the continued fall of the U.S. dollar has kept our support under 80% as of this writing. It is a daunting situation from our feeble human perspective. Many churches are struggling to meet budgets and to take care of their ministry commitments at home and abroad. So far the invitations for the fall are not pouring in. Lord, we know you have a plan for us. Would you mind letting us see just a bit more of it?

Steve and Mary Ann, we are praying for your return to Sao Paulo by the end of 2008! Steve, your students at the FTBP still ask when you are coming back. Keep looking up!
