Moving to Brazil Update
Most of the obstacles listed on the back of last months newsletters have been moved in our favor. We have already moved out of our house and the new buyers are renting until the closing. Jill and I are now living in a rented missionary hospitality house and about 90% of our belongings are in storage. The plan is to send a shipping container to Brazil a few weeks before our departure. Now the question is when will that be. We are planning to leave the second week of February 2008. (God willing!)
What the Future Holds?
Many people have asked what will happen to the ministry here when Jill and I are gone. It will continue in every way. The man we first introduced as my replacement 6 months ago will not be staying. God has provided a new person in Orlando Arguelles. Orlando and I have known each other for 11 years and in many ways our lives have followed similar paths. Orlando is a staff Pastor and Worship leader at Calvary Chapel in Coral Springs. His wife is Elizabeth, and kids, Josh, Alexis, and Christian.
$10,000 is a Lot of Money!
It may be shocking for many of you to find out that the ministry has an annual budget of well over $100,000, so we would like to thank each and every one of you that participated in the Matching Grant. All the funds were greatly needed. I do apologize that half of you got a newsletter insert that had the wrong expiration dates. For a donation to be eligible for matching, it must be received and deposited before the end of the year, so December 20th is the deadline for mail ins. Thanks again!
