8 days, 8 new partners, and counting!

I have to admit I am a little astounded at how quickly God seems to be working. Since we first brought this new challenge of discovering 100 new partners in 100 days before God's throne and before his people, 8 individuals or couples have already indicated their desire to partner with us! The amazing thing to consider is that this is more individual supporters than have pledged support during this entire year of home assignment! We continue to ask God to confirm his direction by supplying this need through his people. Whether or not you can give, would you pray with us that God's will, his plan for us, and his perfect timing continue to be revealed to us?

100 Days, 100 Partners?

We are about 100 days away from our scheduled return to Brazil. It has been a good time for us to be in the US. My Dad's death has left me as the oldest son with some responsibilities in resolving some family matters that would have been difficult to address from Brazil. I do appreciate your prayers as I make a couple of trips down to Tennessee in the near future to deal with an on going family issue there. Its been good to be here this year also as Sarah finished her first year of college successfully, worked this summer, and helped at the food panty at the First Baptist Church in Toms River. Now as we look ahead we realize that we are in the final stretch of this home assignment, and the challenge before us is significant. Several of our supporting churches have made generous increases in their giving. The Lord has added a number of individuals to our support team as well. Even so, the declining value of the US dollar has our current deficit at about $1500 monthly. We are asking God, if it is His will for us to return to Brazil this year, that he supply 100 individual supporters in the next 100 days, willing to commit 50 cents a day, or $15 a month, to our support. This would allow us to return to Brazil fully supported for our next term. It is a huge challenge from our feeble human perspective, but nothing is too difficult for God. 100 new partners in 100 days, would you pray with us about this challenge?
