Vicki: correspondence, specific projects and support ministries, occasional counseling, and learning Brazilian Sign Language. Personal goals for 2011 Tim: Because of the nature of our missionary work, I have no active pastor in my life; to help fill part of that space, I will increase listening (mp3 downloads) to 100 hours plus from God-motivated key preachers, teachers, and church leaders, requesting that God guide me through His Spirit in teaching, pastoring and coaching, particularly, with the sheep entrusted to me that wander away from The Shepherd too often; continue learning how fading human relationships can intensify my friendship with Jesus who will not withhold from me what the Father gave Him (John 15:15). Vicki: maintaining and developing our website; preparing newsletters and most of our correspondence; continuance of a healthier lifestyle; encouraging individuals that God places in my path through empathy and private conversations; completing and converting to DVD the PowerPoint Presentation given last March about our missionaries who have gone on to Glory; reading several helpful books for leisure and learning; mid-year, finding a professional to help me to improve my Portuguese so that I am proficient in translation work. Special Projects for 2011 Growing out of the present location and often meeting in the street for services, we need a simple auditorium for the Maria Teresa work (click “archive” and then July 2010 to read church plant info.) We continue to look toward acquiring funds for construction of an auditorium for the sister congregation of the Church for the Deaf. Presently, we meet in a small covered area next to the new property of the church. We have a portion of the $32,000 needed for the first phase. Additional information One of the major challenges we face on the field is administering a de-valued U.S. Dollar.

Thanks again for your interest and constant support both financially and prayerfully. |
