@Berrybunchfamily it all looks and sounds like a perfect day! Today would've been my dad's 92nd birthday 😢 I plan to take my mom out for breakfast and have pie later. He was my rock and my mom is my soft place.
You are a good father, I don't know your wife -as of yet - but I know she doesn't quit... She will find her eyes, ears, month and nose sooner or later!! What a sport!! 🤣
God bless your day!

A Chinese Christian leader recently told his congregation:

“Of course the government is watching you, and even listening to you in your own home! So make sure that what they are seeing is a true disciple of Christ!”

This is the attitude to take. We are not backing down. We are fully trusting in God’s sovereignty over what they do or don’t do to us. We are in the hands of the risen Jesus and He will never leave us nor forsake us.

Be bold.

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......

..Continued..
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 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.

Slavery. Something most people believe to have died a long time ago, but the sad truth is that it is still alive and well today.
As believers we carry the only hope - the Gospel is the only way to bring true freedom.
