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.

We moved back to the US back in March '15.
I DO believe in miracles! I serve a miracle-working God. I'm asking for prayer. My wife is a full-time stay at home mom who home-schools our children, she's amazing. And we have believed that maybe God would use Brazil to launch us out to other countries to share the Gospel. We also have a heart for/feel a draw to Africa, Mexico and Central/South America and Asia. That's not all-encompassing, I've also considered middle-eastern countries.
Well, the Lord knows all. I know I've been pretty quiet on here for privacy's sake, but I felt that I should reach out, open up and ask for prayer, so thank you in advance.
Blessings be upon you in Jesus' name.
I'm requesting prayer tonight.
I'm feeling a little down and feeling the pressure of things around. My wife and our 4 children and I are planning on moving to Brazil in around 100 days from now. We believe we have heard from the Lord over a period of a few years.
We already have our plane tickets (SkyMiles used), we are working on moving out (less than 2 months remains on our lease), I still have a crud-ton of debt that I am believing for God to miraculously remove or help with so that I can leave no debt unpaid. I have not received exact details from the Lord on what I will be doing there (ministry or small store or both or import/export).
A little background: I was invited to preach in Brazil a little over 10 years ago and went towards the end of 2011, well needless to say, the Holy Ghost revealed to us that the Pastor's daughter would be my wife (on the day before leaving from a 2 week mission), and almost 10 years later, we are 9 (happy) years married and have 4 children......

I have a dilemma. I always refuse masks when entering stores. Most of the time it is not a problem. Other companies say its required when I walk in, i still politely refuse and walk on. I dont want to seem unchristian like, but I definitely hate communism and the suppression of constitutional rights. I will politely argue with the people but sometimes give in and other times they give up. How do you guys approach the mask issue?

I enjoyed this podcast! I really do need to listen to more of these. I loved the online/in person analogy/reality point that was made. Genius! And the throat punch comment 😆 just cracks me up. Very entertaining and encouraging to receive insight on so many different things worldwide. God be Praise and enjoy this podcast by Eugene Bach, I wanna say Dr. Eugene Bach, it slides right out of the mouth so easily, although I'm not sure he's a Dr. LoL

President Biden floods Palestine with fresh cash.
One month later, Palestinians have new weapons to attack Israel.
I am sure it is a coincidence.

Saturday will be a day of death that haunts the soul of thousands of young women who have scheduled abortions today. Saturday is Planned Parenthood’s kill-day.
Pray for mothers and fathers and babies. Pray for Doctors,
Grandparents, and Boyfriends. Pray for every person connected to an abortion. Pray for change, repentance, and healing. Speak LIFE. Lord, Jesus, have mercy.
