In our first month here we have focused on conversations with people about their lives and the life of the church. There has been a lot to discuss and figure out! We have had difficulties in some areas, while other areas have shown great growth! We do have a good group of leaders and workers in the church in Arcoverde and we are grateful for that. We are forming a good leadership team and pray that God will use it to strengthen the church.
Tupanatinga does not have as many mature leaders, but we have a very faithful group attending the church. We have been excited about that. We are hoping to have a baptism later this month. On Saturday the first we are celebrating a wedding for Lucas and Cassia. While we were in the States they were faithful in reading When Sinners Say I Do and talking with us on a video call. It was really neat to see their spiritual growth throughout the year. They are two that will be baptized in our next baptism.
On Friday the 7th, a group from Oregon of 15 people will arrive to do flag football, English conversation, and youth events (and a few other activities). Please pray that the 11 days they will be here will be profitable for the gospel!
All for HIS glory,
David, Sarah, and our two students. We are trying a different homeschool curriculum and school schedule this year and they have already started this month. I get to teach Bible and Sarah is teaching everything else, mainly using books and some videos.
