John 15: 4 "Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itselt; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me."

We had an awesome time studying God’s Word today and worshipping with our brothers-in-Christ from Freguesia!  We studied from John 15:1-11.

We hadn’t seen this wonderful body-of-Christ since our son, Andrew’s wedding in May, so it was fun to study together, worship together, fellowship together and have fun together!  We didn’t arrive home until almost midnight!

This family has loved, blessed, and supported us through good and bad times here in Brazil!  They visited us in the hospital after our serious car accident 6 years ago.  We have street evangelized together, served together, received short-term mission teams together and attended our children’s weddings together!

Now, they have found us a sister-in-Christ and a lawyer within their body who is willing to help us with our “BIG FINE MESS” this week!

Pray that soon we have closure on this, one way or another, and that God’s name is honored through it all! 

Pray that we can put this behind us and focus on building His kingdom!

Celebrating the support of our dear Brazilian family and REMAINING IN HIM,

Jeff and Diane
