Tuesday we were blessed to have some time in Minneapolis catching up with Drew, one of the Rio Trio Trek 7'ers that came to serve with us here in Rio last summer. Drew was leaving in 2 days to go to Guatemala to finish his degree at Bethel University on a study abroad trip to student teach there.
How wonderful it was to hear that Drew's brother recently became a Christ follower! During Drew's time with us here in Rio, our team had prayed for his brother----so it was especially sweet to see Drew face-to-face and see the excitement and hear the amazing way that God had revealed himself to his brother and his brother received Him as Lord and Savior!
Wednesday we left Minneapolis to return home to Rio and arrived safely Thursday without any problems other than 1 suitcase that hasn't arrived yet.
All is well at the Mission house and Moses, our four-legged friend, was extremely happy to see us. Our turtle, Grace, even greeted us by coming into the living room! We're adjusting to the huge change in temperature. It's currently 88 degrees here and -11 degrees in Minneapolis!
We're excited for the work that God has for us in this new year! He has raised up 4 interns that we will soon serve with at CENA in Sao Paulo.
God is also putting together a TREK 7 Team for this coming June and July. He continues to answer prayers to raise up more workers for the field!
We're excited for the many opportunities we will have to make His name known among the nations when the world comes to Rio for the World Cup this summer!
Please pray for divine appointments and effective ministry for the Kingdom as we re-engage with our Brazilian partners, pastors and leaders.
Blessed to be serving our Mighty God here in Rio!
Diane and Jeff
