I forgot to mention one or two other things: my permanent residency there in Brazil expires at the end of October and can only be renewed from within the country.
Also, I say I'm self-employed, I should say I'm God-employed, but I love what I do here and I'm not so sure that it really exists in Brazil, what I do here. And I understand that I may not do there, what I do here, and I'm doing my best to be okay with that. It is in many ways a huge sacrifice and it sounds good, but I want to be able to move forward and press past the obstacles (even those in my mind: debt, work, etc.) And I have been believing and will continue to believe that I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the Living. My parents obviously don't want us to go, we don't know how long we'll be gone (1.5 years?, 3 years?, 5 years?, forever?)
Thank you for your prayers and encouragement, I do covet them.
Thank you.
God is so good! My son (age 7) is at the hospital emergency room right now due to experiencing nausea after having a fall while using a pogo stick. We are praying and trusting that he will recover quickly and be just fine. But, I felt to share on here because of God's goodness. My son uses his pogo stick at home frequently and doesn't wear a helmet. This evening my husband took him to an event where he planned to use his pogo stick. They had started out when he thought of getting his helmet. They debated whether to return home to get it and decided it would be safer to have it. He was wearing the helmet when he fell. If he hadn't had the helmet it could have been so much worse. God is so good! I believe He placed that impression on my son and husband to return for the helmet.
@Cherishingsparrows2020 I'm so so happy for you and your family! God is love beyond our brain's ability to comprehend -let alone put into words! Praise His Holy Name!!! Thank you for allowing us to pray with you.
Thank you again for all the prayers for our daughter. Today we received a VERY encouraging report. She's not yet completely well, but the doctor was so happy with the improvement in her condition and is confident that she'll continue to full recovery. I'm so grateful to God for His healing touch and to all who joined in bringing this need to our Heavenly Father.

One day he stumbled upon an ancient Christian catacomb, a former underground church, in his homeland. There in the darkness, using his flashlight to illuminate the Christian graffiti on the walls, Nour felt a peace he had never experienced come over him.

There is a crisis among young people in China - suicide rates are among the highest they have ever been.
But in their time of greatest need, the Gospel is providing hope where communism has failed them.
@Cherishingsparrows2020 thank you. We are still short $735 as there were extra unforeseen costs. 🙏. But God has always provided! We trust!
