Vision Trips

The dates for our 2010 Vision Trips have tentatively been scheduled. We're just awaiting final air schedule confirmations. Eastwood Baptist will be sending a team January 29 - February 5, 2010. The group will experience the work in Monte Alegre and Prainha.

A second Vision Trip will take place February 22 - March 2. This trip is designed for leaders prayerfully seeking to establish a new mission partnership to experience the work taking place in Santarém and other river communities. For more information, click here.

Waiting on the Lord

Thank you to those of you who have been praying for our family as we seek to fulfill God's call to serve as IMB missionaries in the Amazon Basin-specifically in joining the work in Santarém.

Due the shortfall in the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering and lagging Cooperative Program giving, our family is one of many that have been delayed. For more information.

We sold our home in July before we were informed about the delay, but God provided us a place to live through the generosity of a sister church: Forest Park Baptist Church. They are allowing us to live in their stateside missionary residence, which is very nice. They have been awesome!

We do not know when we will be able to move forward in the process, but we are finding God perfectly faithful to us in the wait. Currently, we are striving to be faithful in our service at Eastwood Baptist Church. We are also working to establish prayer partnerships with the villages of Alenquer, Curuá, Monte Alegre, Óbidos, Oriximiná, and Prainha. We will soon be able to share about Vision Trips to Santarém and these communities that will be taking place in February 2010.
